Odyssey of the Mind

A group of Ryan's friends invited her to participate in the Odyssey of the Mind competition. She didn't really know what she was getting into, but she wanted to do it.  Her team of seven had a problem to solve and came up with a very creative way to accomplish their goal.  They met once a week for 45 min to an hour and somehow got it all done and put together.  I was worried, but they surprised the heck out of all of us and did amazing!  Everyone was surprised by how Ryan came out of her shell.  They all did so well and felt very proud of their work.  Ryan had the job of creating a piece of Leonardo's artwork by using materials not intended for art.  She did a fantastic job and her artwork received some of the highest scores for the team. 

I snapped a quick picture of the parents
 before I left to head to Emma's basketball game.

The kids were nervous as they waited to go on.

Ryan and Finn were the announcers.

You can kind of see Ryan's masterpiece in the back.
