science fair!

 we took the week last week and worked on nate's science fair project. chris and nate spent the evenings in the shop and i spent about 2 hrs a day with him working on his display board, that i dont have a picture of. we had so much fun!  i truly enjoyed working with ante and learning about hydraulics.  chris and nate also had a great time together.   im thinking for now on, every yr we will take the week and only work on the science fair.  nate put a lot of effort and work into his project. with OUT complaint.

 heading out the door!  this yr, i didnt take the girls to the fair. we had company coming and i wanted to get started on cleaning.

 nate came home boating of this bad boy!  nate WON first place for his project. he was trilled and ellie screamed "nate! i KNEW you could do it!"

 she was so happy for him. look at her face. and we rewarded the boys with mcdees for lunch...as per chris in the back ground. hahaha

 late fri night jeff, ursi and their crew joined us for a part of their summer vacation.  saturday was raining but for some freak reason the kids all got a long GREAT!  they played while the adults talked

 and the men slept. hahaha
