Today at the Makers Faire, Orion and his dad had a great time inspecting numerous displays, among which were Lego cities, all sorts of computerized gadgets and programs, bicycle rides that looked like a snake skeleton, man made lightening that rode up metal strings to play different guitars. The video below shows Ri with R2D2 from Star Wars. Orion appeared very comfortable around the robot, even commanding him to do things.
Uncle JPs business SOuth Austin People had a booth at this faire which was geared towards those of us who are talented enough to make things with their own hands. JP gave Orion and Matt tickets to the fairgrounds, for which they are heartily grateful. It was amazing to see so many booths and shows sporting all the imaginations and geniuses of the everyday person. Matthew said that this Makers Faire could be compared to the 1880s World Faire for showing the cutting edge of science and technology. He and Orion were overwhelmed by not only the number of booths and shows, but the depth of love poured into these projects and the desire for all the vendors to share their knowledge with the participating public. I hope that everyone reading this can attend a Makers Faire in their respective communities anytime one is put on.
As always, we thank you for your love and prayers. Michael and Hope, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the hard work put into the benefit Not Just Mail had for Orion last Sunday.
Love always, Orion's Nana Colleen
