Science Fair

Whew, what an exhausting weekend. Saturday, was the Region Science Fair. Bryce and Ty both had project in the Fair and Dave was one on the judges. The boys all left early to set up their displays. Then we picked up Bryce and Ty while Dave went about his judging duties. We all got some breakfast and then took the boys back for judges interviews. Which lasts 2 HOURS.


During that time I took Paige and Brett to the Primary Family Olympics. We didn't do too well with out the big boys. Paige hurt her toes in the bunny hop and I got spun around by the tug-of war rope. It wasn't the same with out the whole family. But, we had fun and enjoyed the Easter egg hunt.


Then we headed back to the science fair. Ty was suffering from an ear ache. So, I took the kids home and Dave made a trip to Home Depot. We had a couple of hours at home before we headed back for the awards ceremony. Ty got a special award from the Air Force for his project and an Honorable Mention. Bryce got a special award from the Navy and 3rd place. Both boys were competing in the engineering division (Elementary & Junior) with projects too complicated to put here. They were both okay with the awards but had hoped for better. We assured them they did great.

The week leading up to this was at least pretty laid back. The kids had testing week at school. Which is not as stressful as it sounds. They spend some time each morning testing and then watch movies, play games, long recess, ect. the rest of the day. And NO HOMEWORK all week.

So, we are done with another year of science fair! Next year Paige will be able to participate too. I'm not sure I can handle 3 projects. Maybe we can talk the boys into a team project!
