DC Group shots!

 

Day 1 and 2 of Native's Rising!

 Day 1 and 2 are a wrap for Ryker and the group @natives.rising. He said he enjoyed seeing the Native American history museum yesterday. He struggled a bit in the heat seeing the monuments. We are not fans of the heat. 

Today he got to code a bit and other stuff at Microsoft. He really liked the lecture at George Washington University on cybersecurity, which is what he is considering majoring in. Or computer science/engineering. Tomorrow is The State Department and a hike at Great Falls.

Really appreciate the groups leaders and chaperones keeping us parents informed. I've been so impressed by everything. 

On a side note, looking for Ryker in pictures is like playing "Where Waldo." He isn't a fan of pictures and generally hides in the back or way to the side.

Ridlee's new floor!

 It's been a super busy week with @kitchenssteven replacing Ridlee's flooring and putting in new furniture. The room is starting to finally come together. Just a few more things to finish up. Ridlee's Care Bear obsession is gangsta level.

Native's Rising Trip!

 Of course, I am anxious but very excited for Ryker to embark on this adventure starting tomorrow. It is crazy what they will be doing next week. They are planning workshops at Microsoft, Google, George Mason, and George Washington University. They are also planning trips to the White House, Homeland Security, State Department, National Mall and Monuments, and a hike of Great Falls. This is way outside of his comfort zone, so keep him in your thoughts/prayers this week, as well as the rest of the group.
