So proud of these girls and all of the other students in Ms. Kelly’s class.  There were some great experiments and the kids showed an amazing understanding of what they were presenting.  Way to go, Ms. Kelly!

Morning traffic

Trying to pull out of the ISM (school) parking lot this morning and had a bit of trouble.

Still in the parking area 

Made it onto road, but wasn’t much better there either.

Luckily, I wasn’t in a hurry. 

We’re in the final stages of the countdown to the end of the term on Friday and our big holiday trip to Thailand.  We leave Monday (Christmas Eve) for an 11 day trip to Thailand.  In typical Broyle (or is it Crown?) fashion, we didn’t make any in-country reservations until Monday, but it looks like an amazing trip:  Bangkok, sleeping in treetops in the oldest evergreen rainforest on earth, staying in a raft house, and, of course, beach time.  I can’t wait to tell you all about it when we get back Jan. 5 (which will exactly be our 3 year anniversary of living in Tanzania!).
