At our science and math club today they had a team building activity of trying to build a bridge out of straws, paperclips and tape that held the most weight. My girls were on a team that had some issues, so they wanted to try again when we got home. This is Meredith building her bridge. None of the pictures of Allison came out well, but her bridge really blew me away. Her bridge could hold my big glass of ice water! Oh, if only her group had listened to her 
– The team’s bridge collapsed under the weight of one single penny. Meredith’s bridge somehow turned into a hippopotamus at some stage. I am not sure what happened there.
I love your new blog layout!!! Super cool.
Love the new look. Meredith looks so grown up in this picture. I remember when you blogged about her as a toddler standing in the middle of the table and now look at her. Building bridges.
