Science Night

Today was Alexis' big Science Fair night! We all had supper together at the O'Hara's--the guys headed off to the shooting range, and the gals headed to the school for Science Fair. Alexis did a project on germs and how far they go when you sneeze. It was pretty cool. She had a can of compressed air, and a "nose" for it to blow through, and pepper to shoot across the room. Very neat! We were proud of her. There were lots of other fun experiments too...many volcanoes, as the boys liked things that blew up! The girls had a great time at a generator, where they put the power through them once they connected the circuit. They loved the tingling feeling, and they boys seemed to not tolerate the voltage as well as the girls. (One more reason God had women do the tough child bearing!)

After the Science Fair, we headed to Wal-Mart to pick up some items. We arrived home at the same time as the guys. We enjoyed Root Beer Floats, and a few rounds of cribbage. Lets just say the girls didn't suffer as much as last time!

The younger girls had fun dressing up and taking pictures of each other for their scrap books. Alyona, Ryan & Declan had their own round of cribbage in the living room. Another fun (and late) night!
