Apr. 1, 2008 - Science fair

This weekend was our science fair.  Spring is such a busy time for us that I didn't require my children to participate but told them if they wanted to and could do it on their own that was fine.  Ariel took a lot of the information, mostly on animals, we did with our Julie of the Wolves/Iditarod study and made it into her project.  Initially, my second to oldest had wanted to do a project as well but when Hunters safetly class came up on the same day he opted to take that. Ariel was so excited the night before and the morning of the fair.  She had made a quiz game with questions and couldn't wait to quiz people who visited her display.  We bought a bag of penny candy for her to reward those who answered correctly so she was popular with the kids!  She just loves to talk (can't imagine where she gets that), so she was in Heaven sharing her knowledge with anyone who would listen! With our science fair we try to do a competition with something the kids can create.  Last year it was catapults.  This year we did race cars.  It was a fun project for them.  Grandpa came and worked on the cars with them.  They created a plan on paper and then he helped them cut and create.  We had been sick the last two weeks so they only got painted the day before but it was dry!   They raced in age groups which was nice so more kids could win.  My youngest got 1st and my other two who participated got second places.  They enjoyed that but more than anything they just had fun with it!   The blue and red car is Taylors, he was at hunters safetly so the girls ran the car for him.  Gina
