On Saturday, Dad, Clay, and I went to Davenport to see the Student Activities Center; construction should be complete by October. It is pictured below to the left of the student housing buildings. The Student Activities Center will house a basketball court for games, a gym with 3 courts for classes, intermurals, and general play, a work-out center, locker-rooms, offices, classroom and meeting space, a rock-climbing wall, etc. It is much needed and anticipated by the students! A "fly-through" of the building can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXsoK_rukb0 Clay found a broken length of pvc piping and decided to golf with a rock ... interesting new sport at the construction site!
Here Dad and Clay were checking out the geese in the back pond! Lots of goslings!
We also had 2 spring-varsity hockey games this weekend (both on Sunday). Here are some photos of the boys playing. This first one Harrison (in black) is scrambling against the boards with other players for control of the puck.
Here's Harrison taking advantage of a little open ice - his back is to the viewer (#10) - to get to the puck. The boys won both games and are undefeated for the spring season.
Tomorrow (Monday), Davenport is holding a flower and plant sale at the Caledonia (Lettinga) Campus to raise funds for the BPA club. The BPA at Davenport has been winning big time for the past several years - here is a link to see how they swept the state, competing against students from all other schools in the state: http://www.davenport.edu/Home/PressRoom/DavenportUniversity2008StateBPAWinners/tabid/627/Default.aspx
(Take a look at all our winners; it's pretty amazing and definitely VERY impressive!) They have won nationally against students from other excellent schools, including Yale - let's cheer them on this year (nationals are this month) and support their efforts!
