Yes Lynne Cox came to our bluebird meeting tonight! it was awesome! the girls were mesmerized (since i set them up to ask about the whale grayson, i hadnt finished the book yet so i had them on pins and needles about the outcome of the baby whale she writes about in "grayson") the parents asked questions along with the kids and it went smooth as silk. there is just something so warm and caring about her, yet she is also a strong, competitive athlete too. the best kind of combination. i can't thank lynne enough for sharing her stories with us, it really made a difference to me and my daughter and i hope for all the girls (parents, family members, co-worker, fellow blogger buddy too! wink wink). thanks again!

even the dads had fun!
Thanks for inviting me! It was really great to hear her story - what an amazing woman!! The girls were so engaged, and that was really neat to see.

ReplyDeleteLeslie... You are the best. I sure hope that your girls know that. You're inspiring. You and Chris never cease to amaze us.
ReplyDeleteLeslie you ROCK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up and you too will have an asteroid named after you.
That was the best night I had in forever. My husband was just as excited as I was. Lynne Cox is just as sweet as the young girl we read about.
Thank you soooooo much for putting that together.
I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
