We flew to Orlando from San Francisco with fellow team mate Pranav Srihari and his mom Vanitha. Here are the boys at the airport waiting to board the plane. Most people think we are a little crazy coming to Florida, right after Slovenia. I'd have to say I agree completely. We really didn't factor in the Thanksgiving week off, and Cameron only attending three days of school before he was out on Thursday & Friday. He has a lot of homework to catch up on.

| Cameron met with David Pruess from Chesskid.com to talk about creating some chess videos over the winter break. His videos will cover his games from 2012 World Youth Chess Championships in Maribor, Slovenia. We are looking forward to this challenge and hope that it will provide Cameron another outlet for his chess skills. Usually he is not too excited to try new things, but he seems to be jumping into this head first. He's watched a lot of chess videos and knows chess, so I guess it's not all that new to him! Keep your eyes open for the videos at http://chesskid.com.

| At the opening ceremonies, before round 1 began, they made a special announcement about Cameron winning the silver medal in Slovenia. They had him walk onto the stage to take a bow. It's a good thing Cameron was listening because I was talking to Vanitha, and Cameron said to me, "Mom, they are going to say my name", and he had to run up on stage for a bow. I barely got this photo before they rushed him off the stage.
