Here is Payton and her science project. She did trials on which water solution (saltwater, sugar water or plain tap water) plants preferred. The saltwater plant died immediately, which was pretty interesting, the sugar water and plain tap water grew at the same rate. She won fourth place on this project, she did a great job.
Here are my kiddos leaving the science fair. I enjoy taking photos of them walking for some reason, I don't know why. I don't know if you can tell, but Austin is definitely growing at a faster pace lately. He's on both IGF1 and HGH (human growth hormone), which is totally experimental to be using at the same time, but if it helps I'm all for it. A few weeks ago we found out that he also has some issues with his thyroid, but it isn't a really big deal now that he's on some medications for that too. Speaking of science projects, Austin could have won this fair himself, with all of the experimental stuff he's on.
We did a lot of standing around and waiting while there, but it was neat to see the creative science projects, not so much on the M&M Math type projects, those get boring after you've seen them a dozen times. On a side note, Gregg has been gone this whole week to a Piracy Conference in DC. It's ironic because of the Norfolk ship that was taken over by pirates off of Africa's coastline just a few days ago. Gregg has had a few run-ins with pirates in the past few years, you should hear the stories... the USS Cape St. George even had a shoot out with some pirates while on deployment a few years ago, pretty interesting stuff.
Anyway, here's hoping that the weather stays nice for the weekend!
