District Science Fair

You may remember my post from a couple months ago about doing our science experiments for the Science-O-Rama. Well, Sarah's was picked to go to district and she finally got to go! It was held at a local high school and was huge!
I was a little nervous for Sarah. They had to stand by their exhibits and be interviewed by two judges about their science experiment. Sarah did a lot of waiting.

The first judge came by and was so nice. He spent a lot of time asking all kinds of questions about every single aspect of Sarah's poster and scientific findings. Sarah seemed really nervous at first, but opened up quickly. She got all 4's and 5's on her score from this judge. He loved how she did different variables to learn about how plants "drink".

We waited a looong time for the second judge to come. (Notice the gym is almost empty.) He was so nice too and seemed very interested in everything Sarah said. He gave Sarah all 5's! (the highest score) and said her display looked great. Sarah was so proud and so were we. (o:

Natalie and Angela thought this was the most boring night ever. Angela is watching me "blog" this and commented, "that's the dumb boring place", "it was boring and it give me a headache and you thinked it was fun!".
This was a good lesson in supporting family members, no matter the sacrifice. Even if you get bored to death, which apparently almost happened to these two. They were very dramatic about just how BORING it was.

But look how much it meant to Sarah. She thanked her sisters for coming to support her. This night made her feel so special.
