Dani is going to Turkey!

The middle school here does something called Week Without Walls. The kids get to choose from several different events including space camp in Turkey, art, film making, living in the UAE (visiting lots of cool places in the country), scuba diving, desert camping and more. Dani had a tough choice. Her first instinct was too choose Turkey. But none of her friends were interested in going so she wasn't sure what to do. Most of her friends were wanted living in the UAE or camping. Dani wants to be with her friends but she also wants to go on the international trip.
Today was sign up so she had to make a choice. I told her to sleep on it and make the choice this morning.

Dani decided on Turkey and we were #7 in line this morning at 6:15am so she got her first choice. She is very excited but also a little worried about how her friends will feel that she chose something different. She just called me from the school to tell me that Turkey is full (she was worried that no one else would choose it and the trip would be cancelled). She's so funny sometimes. Larry and I are proud of her for choosing on her own. We know that she will have a ton of fun and learn a lot. The trip includes space camp, a visit to an ancient city that they studied in social studies, community service at a local school and some site seeing.
