I’m always looking for fun STEM projects to do with the kids. When I find those that can also incorporate LEGO and other building bricks then I am even more excited. I was offered the opportunity to review the mPie kit from Microduino. Here is the official description of the product.

Eva’s Dance Productions Recital 2018

Eva - Dance Productions Recital  2018

Today was Eva’s seventh Dance Productions Recital. She has really come a long way in her lifetime as a dancer. Her confidence and poise has increased as has her skill.

The recital today was the 10th anniversary of Dance Productions and it was a nice celebration. We were joined by Mom and Dad and today was their 45th wedding anniversary. They celebrated with a dinner out to the Blackington Inn.

We went out to House of Fortune because that was Eva’s choice and eating there after the recital has become a bit of a yearly tradition. Dinner was great and then we came home so I could get a couple of hours of sleep before heading to work.
