Lindsey's Trip to DI Finals

Lindsey's Destination Imagination Team won their state competition and got to go to the global finals in Knoxville, TN. They had to build a machine (without adult help) that shot objects over a wall to hit targets on the other side. All while acting out a skit they wrote that worked around the machine. They came in 20th of 59 teams. We were very proud of how they did.

Lindsey and Megan make final adjustments to a broken prop.


At closing ceremonies everyone in the building had a beach ball and threw it on the arena floor. It was cool and colorful!

DI Pin Trading

At DI finals a big thing lots of people did was pin trading. One of the purposes is so people can meet others from other states and countries. Lindsey LOVED this.
