Michael Bentley : →http://web.utk.edu/~mbentle1The big event of our summer was the trip to Australia that Alex won in the National Geographic essay contest. If you have a minute, check out the video on http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/handsonexplorer/
The photo of the snake at the bottom of that page is Alex’s entry and one of the blogs the 2nd or 3rd page into that site was done by Alex. I put some of my pictures on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/29567434@N02/
Looking back, I'm amazed at the enormous variety of things we did in only 2 weeks – truly an amazing experience to share with Alex and the highlight of the summer for me, his dad, if not the year! Michael
