Kiersten participated in the regional science fair on Saturday; she received a Merit Award for her participation. She was very disappointed that she did not get to move on to the state fair but is ready to try again next year. Pictured to the left is her display board for her project "Does following the guidelines of the Food Pyramid improve your health".

This weekend Bob and I will be going to a summer camp fair; many different summer camps in the area attend this fair and pass out brochures about their camps. Kiersten usually picks four or five day camps to attend during the summer, it is a great way to keep her busy and learning during her time off. We have one camp picked out so far that I found online, it is at the local humane society. They spend a week doing activities related to animals and learning about careers that are animal related. She is very excited for this one:)

We are also going to watch my sister Jessica do the "Polar Plunge" for the Special Olympics on Saturday. It is an event where they raise money for the charity then jump into one of our Minnesota lakes....BRRR! It should be a fun time:)
