This morning Heidi took David over to Infusionsoft for the second annual Great Arizona Code Challenge. Their were professionals teaching classes and sponsors donated prizes. David was there from a little before 8 am.
At 6 pm Heidi, Rebecca, Sarah and TJ and I arrived for the awards ceremony. Heather kindly watched Joseph and Peter. We suspected they would have trouble sitting though the hour and a half long presentation. David did not win a prize but he felt good enough about the event that he wants to try again next year. Rebecca has started learning to code so maybe next year they can both go.
Here is a shot of the stage. You can see the "cereal bar" in the background. Infusionsoft is one of those software companies that tries to have fun perks like 10 foot high trophies and tether ball polls.
TJ though the statue of the balloon dog was fun. David kept to himself during the event. Heidi and I had hoped he'd make some friends who like coding like he does. That was a little disappointing to me. I was hoping that would make it more fun for him. Still, I'm proud of his brave attitude and his willingness to try hard things.
While David coded away Heidi and I dried out the tent and the sleeping bags. Thankfully the Arizona heat made quick work of this task. It took most of the morning but would've taken much longer had things not dried so quickly. It felt good to have the van cleaned out.
David, We agree we Dad. We are impressed with your courage to undertake difficult tasks. Stay strong
