Science Fair and Rain Forest Projects

 Alex and Lily have been busy in school with lots of fun projects and activities.

 Alex participated in the Science fair with his 2 best friends Evin and Kabilan.  They chose to measure the distance paper airplanes flew based on the width of the wings.  They had a lot of fun learning about "lift" and coming up with the ideas and testing their hypothesis.  They made a nice power-point with lots of animated gif's.  Here are some pictures from the day they tested their planes in our hallway.





 Lily made a rain forest diorama to put on display at her schools open house night.  It was an optional project, but sounded very fun. She could have help from family.  So mom and Lily planned it out and then made the project together.  It was a fun activity too.  We really like how it turned out and we learned a lot about the rain forest in the process.

Sarah turns 15!

 Our cute Sarah turned 15!  She is such a good kid.  We celebrated at home and then she had a friend swim party in the evening.  Sarah is patient, dependable, kind, smart, a good runner, and just a great friend to all of us.  We love her very much.  Happy Birthday Queen Bee!

Weekend trip to Los Angeles

Sarah had the opportunity to go with her school's music program on a trip to Disneyland this year.  The only problem was that part of the trip landed on Sunday.  We decided that one of us could drive down and pick her up on Saturday night and then they would drive home together.  After talking about it we decided it would be a lot more fun to go all together.  Dad had heard about the Space Shuttle Endeavor being in a museum in LA, so we looked it up and decided to put it on our itinerary.  Mom wanted to spend some time at the beach, so we put it on our itinerary.  It ended up being a really nice weekend together.  We felt like it was a blessing for making a good choice. There aren't any pictures of Sarah because she was in Disneyland and Disney studio's recording music.  She did drive home with us though and slept most of the drive home.
