As I wrote recently, I have been taking a class that is called Destination Imagination or DI. It has really been a great year for us! We have learned a lot and have had fun through the class! On Saturday we went to the competition! Each week we have been going to class and preparing a challenge that we will bring and present to the appraisers, and then they will score it and we will get points if they enjoy it! Our task this past year and up to present has been to create two machines and a skit that demonstrates them. We made two machines out of a tricycle and a wagon, and we put stuff on them such a rope to pull them and a grabber and net! We were also allowed to ride on one of them. We arrived at the competiton at 7:30 a.m. and stayed till... GUESS... 6:00 p.m.! It was fun though in all! We did our challenge at 11:40 p.m, and we had to do our skit in 8 minutes! It is all about Egypt and is based on the story of Pharoah and the Slaves; although it is not a Bible story! It was really fun! There is a proclamation in it about not providing hay for the slaves' bricks and lots more! We had fun, and the appraisers loved it! Our score was 85.98 and we were a little dissapointed, TILL THE AWARDS! Over the microphone they were annoucing the winners. Our challenge was called Operation Cooperation! They said 4th place, then 3rd place and we were REALLY excited when they annouced, "Second PLACE, Lighthouse Homeschool Co-Op!" We were in second place! That means that we get to move on to the states in less than three weeks! YAY! There are three levels- Regionals, States, and Globals! We are on States, and if we win that... in May we will go to Globals! Globals is in TN, and you stay there for a week. We would do our Challenge again! It is really fun! That is the highest level a team can reach!
