The science fair was a big success. We had roughly 25 displays ranging from making homemade ice cream to how lightning is formed. Everyone did such a good job on their projects.

Dd received many questions about her display, "Is Oreo really the best?" Moms especially were interested to know that there are healthy alternatives that taste good to Oreos. Oreos did win the taste contest, hands down. The regular Oreos were closely followed by the sugar-free Oreos. 7 out of 9 testers chose Oreo as number 1.

Ds successfully built his trebuchet and we launched it several times in the grassy area behind the house. Dad and ds managed to throw a golf ball 119'. Everyone, especially the boys and men, were intrigued with the trebuchet. It was suggested that maybe next year the homeschooling support group could hold a trebuchet launching party. Each family who was interested could build their own trebuchet and then see which one launches objects the farthest. The current meeting site has a great launching field. Grandpa was interested as well and is thinking of launching hedge apples this fall.

I will try to post pictures later, but the site is saying I don't have enough availabe space. If anyone can help with that I would much appreciate it. I had the same problem with my last posting as well.
