One of our summer adventures includes emailing colleges to request information....and t shirts. I got the idea from a blog I saw online where someone had emails over 1500 colleges and received over 1000 t-shirts in the mail.  Tara thought this was a very cool idea, and t-shirts make great shirts for ball  practice.  This venture started 5 days ago, and amazingly they have started rolling in.  It is fun to see the marketing used by some colleges and the impression they leave.  West Point was the first package to arrive, it included a t-shirt, a bag, a water bottle, a pennant, and a great brochure that showed a beautiful panoramic of the campus.  This arrived just 2 days after emailing a request.

Three more t-shirts showed up in the mail today, along with a pennant, a bracelet, sunglasses, and lots of brochures.  We love the responses, and exploring what colleges around the country have to offer.  Personally, I love the SD Mines shirt.  The communication is amazing...even though Tara is just going into the 8th grade......this is a great way to explore colleges and career opportunities.

We are excited to see what comes tomorrow.....although I am sure that the mailman is going to tire of all the extra mail......FAST :)
