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.


I loved the huge lego blocks.


They enjoyed spurts of exploring the museum.


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








Later they had a test to take on wind energy.


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




At the end there was an awards ceremony. The girls were recognized for being an all-girl team.


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 made some sweet and sour chicken one night...random photo...turned out pretty well!


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


I saw this one night and thought it was hilarious.




Lastly, their wind turbines were on display at the front of the school.  So fun!
