Wishing you a year full of …
With love,
Lisa, Matt, Tierney (8), Ashlyn (7), and Anderson (4)
In January 2010 we moved to Arusha, Tanzania for Matt's job with the Nature Conservancy. This is my attempt to keep family updated on what we're doing (and document it for the kids to re-read when they are older).
Gorgeous Day on Campus for a Science Fair
Tierney’s group did the difference between physical and chemical change
The Scientists
Tierney, Emilie (moved back to Denmark just last night), and Kemba (from Madagascar)
Physical change: food coloring to water
Chemical Change: baking soda and vinegar
It was a popular one
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!
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!).
