We had the opportunity to tag along with my dad to his institutes in Indian Wells, California.  His team an he have a powerful message they are sharing with teachers and principals throughout the country.  Their message of No Excuses, and the notion that not only every child CAN learn, but should be learning.  And it’s our (the schools) job to make that happen.  Powerful.  Like, change the face of education powerful.  I attended a few sessions and now feel more of a sense of urgency to get back out to the school site and make changes happen… more on that later.

For now, some pictures.

Cousin Mika, hamming it up.

Cousin CJ and BC.  BC’s all, “AAYYY!”

But the majority of our time was spent sitting just like this in the pool, avoiding the 110 degree heat.  Gotta love vacation!
