Last week, even though most of Texas was flooding, some friends and I headed down to New Braunfels to float the river. We usually float the Comal River but it looked like chocolate milk and was closed. So we drove to the San Marcos River and it was just fine. It was flowing a little faster than usual, but other than that, it was perfect.
On Friday while the guys went on a little road trip, the girls got to visit a previous Bunco member Karen who lives close to Gruene now. Karen was my librarian my 1st year in Irving. She's a hoot! She now lives on the river and loves it. We ate lunch at the Gristmill. Yum!!! Right next door is the oldest country dance hall in Texas called Gruene Hall. George Strait started his career there.

Chris, Sarah, Karen, Wendi, and meWe floated once on Friday and twice on Saturday. On our last trip down the river, it started raining. It had been sunny the whole time. We even got sunburns. The San Marcos River doesn't have any waterfalls or chutes so there was going to be no losing hats or sunglasses this year. And then what do I do?!?! Lose my sunglasses! We had pulled over to the side to hang out in the water for a little while. I had my glasses on my head and leaned back laughing and off they fell into the river. Luckily they were a cheap pair I had bought especially for times like this.
We bought some new tubes this year. Sarah and Jeff live in New Braunfels so they're going to store them for us until next time. Usually we rent the big black tubes that get so hot in the sun. So the new blue and white ones were nice!

Ok, so I have a question for you smart people. I'm interested in trying to get a "Read Right" teaching position in my district. I won't bore you with the details of what it is. Anyway...most schools have to use special ed money to help pay for these teachers so you have to be special ed certified. So I signed up to take the special ed test and printed off a study guide that gives you samples of the types of questions you'll have. So here is a math one that I don't get. Remember that I haven't done anything above 3rd grade math in the last 7 years! :)
Using a protractor, a student measures the sum of the interior angles in a triangle and obtains 176 degress. What is the percent error of this measurement?
A. 0.04%
B. 2.22%
C. 2.27%
D. 4.00%
It told me the correct answer, but I don't have a clue how to find it. Can anyone tell me? It doesn't really matter because it was just a sample, and I already took the real test today, but I was just curious.

4th of July
Here are 2 of my favorite little friends on our way to see fireworks for the 4th. Connor loves to see the pictures and my camera is kinda slow so he usually moves before I have the shot. But I finally got him to stay still on one.

so, what's the answer? B?
river looks like fun - we used to float the bogue chitto all the time back in mccomb... fun times.
I knew I had smart friends. :) Yep, it's B. How did you get that?
I teach 4th grade...but not math, so I don't have a clue!:) River looks fun. Thanks for the update!
It's b because the sum of the interior angles of a triangle should be 180. The margin of error is 4 (180-176) so the question is "what % of 180 is 4/" or 4= x% of 180
Fun question-i miss math
ps-i occasionally peek at your blog. we met in college a few times. i am friends with Jill and Shandra.
I would have never gotten that math question. But I'm glad you had fun at the river.
There you are having more fun!
Sorry, I did not think thru the math question.
Thanks, Rachel. I had no clue how to do that. Do you blog too? Come on, everybody's doing it! :)
i do blog, i just can't register again cause i forgot my password but i didn't really though they say i did and i can't figure out what to do but my page is www.thehoods.net...check us out any time!
Rachel, your children are precious! I'll have to start checking out your website. :) And you're welcome to lurk on mine anytime. :)
Where and when are you taking your test? I'm taking the ESL on Aug. 4th at UTA. I miss you! We have got to get together soon.
fun times, mandy! also, thanks for thinking of todd on his birthday. it's always fun to be thought of by old friends!
Hey Mandy! Looks like you are having fun this summer! I always enjoy your updates!
