Egg Drop

Holli's class had an egg drop project this week.  Each student was to work with their family to build a container that would protect a raw egg in a 2 story drop.  Drew and Holli came up with a great design!  The egg was housed in a little camera case and and suspended by rubber bands.  This contraption was then put inside a box to contain everything. We tested this by tossing it off our deck but this wasn't nearly as high as the school roof. 

 

We were a little nervous when we saw how far the egg was going to fall. 

 

But it survived!  

Holli got to add her name to list of "eggs that survived"!  This was a really fun project!

Happy Arbor Day!

When I came down stairs this morning Holli was already dressed and ready to go.  She was wearing a green top and brown pants... she was a tree!   She did this all on her own in honor of Arbor Day.  So proud of that little girl!  Sniff, Sniff.

Spring Break

The kids and I just returned from a quick trip to Kansas City.  We went back for my Uncle's 70th Birthday party.  While there, we got to see family that came from Alaska, Georgia and North Carolina. It was fun seeing everyone.

 

We got to ride in a Limo! The kids loved it.

Dying Easter Eggs.

Chasing Grandpa with a confetti egg. I think they got him.

 

A trip to KC  wouldn't be complete without visiting the farmstead.
