Kid Wind Challenge

Shanna and Haley have been working on a wind turbine for the Virginia Kid Wind Challenge for a couple of months.  The day came!  We traveled to Roanoke Children's museum for the event.

They had a couple of events with their team.  They needed to of course test how powerful it was and get the joules measured.

We also stopped in the gift shop.  I thought these things were hilarious.

One of their friend's made t-shirts for all girls in the group--super cute!

Clark bought a bike!  We paid part and he paid part. He went without a bike for awhile and we finally buckled down and helped him get it.

I received an N-Style box with some fun goodies!  Too bad it was the last one.  The athomewithnikki company stopped doing them.
