Science Fair Project

Jenna and Micaela have been working on their science project for weeeeeks!  So many hours have gone into it, and trying to get together with two busy schedules was challenging.  But they did it!  Five different brands of baggies were tested for durability and freshness. A slice of bread was placed in each baggie, and an Oreo cookie was placed in another set of baggies. The bread and Oreos were left in the baggies for a week and then tasted and observed for freshness. The baggies were also filled with water and dropped several times from a two-foot height to test the strength of the zipper and durability of the plastic.  In the end, on brand came out on top for freshness (Stater Bros), and one brand for durability (Fresh and Easy).  The girls one an honorable mention for their project which was really nice.  It wasn't first, second or third place, but more like fourth.  They'll take it since many projects were not recognized with ribbons. The hard work paid off!  Good work girls!

On one of the project nights after Jenna had been working really hard, we all went out to dinner at Islands to relax.  I took this cute picture of Heather and Kelly, and it reminds me that these two have great, easy-going personalities that render them nearly always happy.  They are both fun to be around, and they add a great balance for Jenna and I who tend not to be super "up" all the time.  Oh, and the Tardis cracked me up.  This was what Heather doodled on her Kid's Menu as she waited for dinner.  Very creative Heather.
