(More on that to come.)<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Nette was available to watch Bree for me today so I could focus on the Orientation with Adrianna. I am so glad, as there was no way my busy 2 year old would have cooperated through the long periods of discussion and meeting teachers.<\/p>\n<p>After Options, we headed to Boulder. We had heard through a fellow homeschooler that Rosetta Stone was looking for early elementary kids to do some reading \/ voice work for some research and development they are doing. It paid $25 for one hour. Adrianna had done a test a year earlier for a charter school study where she&#8217;d earned $25 for an hour and had recently told me to sign her up for something like that again. She got to wear a headset with an attached microphone and all she had to do was listen to a sentence and then repeat it back. An employee there would record each one on his computer.<\/p>\n<p>Adrianna did a great job. She was enthusiastic about it and even more enthusiastic when she received her very own $25 Visa Gift card afterward!<\/p>\n<p>The Rosetta Stone office was right off the Pearl Street Mall so we decided to spend the rest of our afternoon there.<\/p>\n<p>Adrianna ran through the fountains.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pearl Street Mall\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2012\/08232012_003.jpg\" alt=\"Pearl Street Mall\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pearl Street Mall\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2012\/08232012_004.jpg\" alt=\"Pearl Street Mall\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pearl Street Mall\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2012\/08232012_007.jpg\" alt=\"Pearl Street Mall\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed some of the street performers.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pearl Street Mall\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2012\/08232012_010.jpg\" alt=\"Pearl Street Mall\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And wrapped up our afternoon with an early dinner and cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pearl Street Mall\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2012\/08232012_012.jpg\" alt=\"Pearl Street Mall\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It really was a nice day together.
