The Homeschool Expo

Wanna see what the kids worked on so diligently?


Here's Kiki with her Giant Panda display.


It was neat and meticulous, with custom artwork.
.

She also got to call winning numbers in the prize give away. Including her OWN winning number, as she was also a contestant. It was a random drawing and everyone who had a project got a ticket. This means that Sawyer did NOT get a ticket.
.

But he waited for his number to be called anyway. Because there were really cool prizes to choose from.
.

His prize ended up being to call out winning numbers, like Kiki.
.

If you've never been to an Expo, this is not a usual sight. Unless you have a family dog that can't be left home that long.
.
.
This is more what it looks like.
.

The kids make cool displays of their choosing, like this amazing Coconut Crab project by....
.

Greyson!
.

And this dancing corn starch and water that moved by sound.
Really cool! (Not my kid, though).
.

Kids as young as 8 do projects. Like this handsome young lad with his Guitar Project.
(my kid).
.

Then everyone walks around and ooooh's and ahhhhh's and leaves comments in a little booklet on your table. And if you got a comment that looked like this-- >~`''l t 7 &--- it was probably by Sawyer. And it probably meant--"WOW, this was SO COOL!".
.

He did comments and went running. Lot's of guys to go runnin' with outside. This was one of the only still shots I could get.
