Imbolc Anniversary Moon
Got a phone call last night. “Grandpop! Guess what?” “What, Ruth?” “Second place!” “I’m so proud of you, sweetheart.” “I’m proud of myself.” “That’s great. Always remember to be proud of yourself.” “Guess what else?” “What?” “We get to go to State. First, second and third go on to State!”
This was Ruth reporting on her team’s results in the Destination Imagination competition this year. Destination Imagination gives small groups of kids a challenge and has them create something, a play in this case, around the challenge’s theme. This year the challenge was Vanished. The kids had to create a theater piece that focused on a color vanishing from the world.
I love the team name her group came up with: Jaw Dropping Brain Crunchers. I haven’t explored with her yet how they came up with that, but I intend to. She needed a positive moment, it’s been a tough year for everybody in the Denver Olson’s. I’m very glad she got one.
On April 22nd, earth day and her brother Gabe’s birthday, the Jaw Dropping Brain Cruncher’s will take their show on the road to the State competition. Pretty cool.
