End of 1st week of YSI

I was so excited to see Devin on Saturday. I know he did not miss me, but that is okay. The Resident Mentors (RM) took pictures of their week and it was really cool that they sent home a copy of the slide presentation with each of the students. I pulled out some of the ones of Devin to give folks an idea of some of the things he did. I looked like a lot of fun!!

These strange folks are the RM's that kept up with the kids all week. All of them are currently in or have just completed their time in the Advanced Acadamy (early entrance into college). Most of these guys are between 17 and 19. The blond girl has just graduated from the program and highschool and is entering Yale in the fall as a Junior. Very cool!!!

I think this might be Chemistry, but I'm not real sure.

I thought the next slide was very cool. They made these kalediscopes on the computer in math. Pretty neat.

The RM's again. Apparently, when you play crab soccer it is necessary to wear war paint!







Okay, does anyone else see that my child is not paying attention? He was not happy about making things with the paper. He called this arts and crafts and he hates such. Too bad. It is good for him!!

In Chemistry, his professor blew things up and they got to play with Liquid Nitrogen. Devin said this was his favorite thing all week. They even made ice cream with it.


Not sure what this is about, but I thought it was pretty funny. He is even sitting beside a cute girl! Good going Devin!!


Toga Party! You can just see the tip of Devin's head in the back. Bet you he is not wearing a toga!!This is my favorite picture of all! Something I thought I'd never see! My son dancing with a group of girls. I think it is great. He looks like he is having a great time. Apparently they had to work pretty hard to get him to dance, but once out there, he had a great time. I'm proud of you Devin for trying it and having a great time. That is what it is about. Don't let your fears hold you back! It feels good to just let go and be free.

They really liked the game 4 corners. They were playing this when we arrived and while we were waiting on the presentation to start.


The first thing Devin did when he got home is get comfortable and right to the PS3. I think he missed that more than anything! Maybe Raven.


I'm glad you had a great time Devin!!
