Maxine advanced to the district science fair and competed today. She had to stay there from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and then I picked her up for lunch. Afterwards, the fair was open to the public for a half hour and then the awards ceremony. Maxine didn't win 3rd, or 2nd, or 1st place in her age division. So I gave her a hug and told her she did great! She seemed a little bummed. So I started to sneak back to her exhibit to clean it up. So after I got it cleaned up, I started to walk back to where Merril and the kids were standing around waiting for the rest of the awards to finish up. Then they announced the award for
Best of Fair and Maxine won it!
Here she is climbing the stairs to get her award.
Here she is standing in front of her project holding the plaque and certificate.
She won a $100 dollar savings bond too! Seriously, that's why she looks so happy. She wanted to go cash it in right away but we had to head back to the school. Wahoo!

Way to go Maxine!!
That is so awesome! I am seriously proud to know someone who won an award at science fair!! That is a great idea, it totally beats Carters idea last year of which things that I mix together will smell the worst. Boys. Good job Maxine!!
Our kids are way too smart. Spookie isn't it.
