What Lives at the Roof of the World?

Photobucket


Morgan and her sweet Daddy spent hours and hours on their Himalayan exhibit for her school's recent Science Fair.



I giggled as they worked on this and kept telling Martin that this was more high school or college level than elementary. But they sure had fun working on it together over the weeks. I was proud of Morgan and all the time she put into the research, the planning, and the assembly of this.



Martin is travelling over to India to hike through the Himalayas very soon with his brother, Greg... so this project was perfect for our family to learn a bit about the vegetation and animal life living and growing where he'll be.

Rachel, thanks for the nice comment. I was laughing when you mentioned your daughter playing with your hair. It is true that it is heaven and sometimes I offer to pay my kids to play with my hair for a few minutes!

WOW! When you told me that Martin was helping her and was staying up late I really did not think that Martin was that kinda guy to do it for her, now I understand. It is AMAZING! What a great opportunity for them to spend time together! What a great family!

That is really amazing. The only way it could be any cooler is if it were made of cake. Maybe she should do that next year. :)
