We’ve completed the first leg of our trip in Knoxville, TN. Our camper (in an interesting RV Park) was sleeping quarters for 5 nights but Samantha was on campus with her team! The 12 hour overnight trip was well worth it! It was 5 busy days of Destination Imagination Global competition for the KMS team! The ‘Banana Launchers’ made it after regional competition that led them to State competition. Their Third place state award took them to Global competition with teams from at least 17 countries all over the world for different types of challenges. There were 17,000 people wandering the streets of the Knoxville college campus there to compete and support the teams. It was amazing! Many favorite activities were the pin trading, expo center & nightly events. Of course seeing other teams perform was way awesome too. They had two parts that added up their score in the competition, Instant Challenge and their teams presentation that they developed over the course of the 2017/18 school year.
For their ‘Maze Craze’ middle school level performances they earned 10th place out of 85 teams that made it to Globals. Such an incredible and amazing opportunity and experience!!
We are now on the trek to our previously scheduled Disney World vacation. We are taking our Airstream to Disney Fort Wilderness campground. Almost there and so excited. More to come...
