The Science Fair

Alex has asked me every year for a very long time if she can do the science fair. This year I thought I would be the good mom and said yes. At first, Alex had told me they could do it together but when she brought home the information it said only those in the same grade level could be partners. Ashlynn really wanted to do it so we ended up doing 2 projects. Alex wanted to do something with natural dyes made from fruits and vegetables. We tested 2 fruits and 2 vegetables to find which one made the darkest red dye. Ashlynn went around the ward testing people memories to see whether they were better at remembering by sight or sound. All of it was a lot of work but I know they felt proud to be apart of something. They each received the standard participation ribbon and certificate but they also both received a Honorable Mention ribbon. Next year will be mandatory for Alex to participate so we will be continuing with the science fair for the next 4 years.
