On to Regionals!

Here are my two inventors!!

Carter and Emily both made inventions for our school's Invention Convention this year and they both made it on to the Regional Level!! Woo Hoo!
Carter's Invention is called The Cushy Kayak Cushion and is a waterproof cushion that straps onto the kayak seat beause he thought the seat was uncomfortable when he had to paddle. (I agree!)
Emily's Invention is call the Lunch "N" Go and is a tray that straps in with a seatbelt to the buddy seat in the combine and big tractor so that Dad and Grandpa can eat on the go. It has sides to catch things and is metal so the cupholder can magnet to it.

Fun ideas and fun times! They are way excited. When they go to Regionals they get to miss a day of school and go out to eat after they compete. Fun! Emily wants to make it on to state this year. We'll see what happens next month....

She had a good idea and she went with it.

Emily invented "the All Purpose" tray and took it to Invention Convention today. The idea for the tray came from trying to help Casey do things the last 2 months. She had a good idea and Al and I helped her refine and build it. Then she had a display board and log book to do. Working right up until this morning before school, we finished just under the wire. This afternoon she had to present to judges and then talk about it to any and all students and parents that came in to see. It was a hit and now she is headed to Regionals in December with fingers crossed that she will go on to State Finals next March!

Congrats Ems! I am very proud of you for coming up with a winner of an idea and working hard on it to see it finished!!!

Who knows? Maybe she'll be an inventor some day...
