The Youth Expo

A couple of weeks ago Mrs. DuClos (Kael's art teacher at school) sent home a note stating that his art work would be displayed at the Youth Expo this weekend. Kael didn't know anything about it and I kept forgetting to ask her what it was all about. At first I thought maybe all the kids had their art displayed. However the note was handwritten to The Mai Family so maybe I have an artist who can draw something other than Pokemon's, Bakugan's and Star Wars battle scenes.

After a late breakfast, we headed over to the Fairgrounds to check it out. Working our way to the right building was complicated by many other distracting exhibits.

The Bug and Reptile Exhibit:

Just like Ms. Crystal's Bubba -- only way bigger.


Some kind of large (and thankfully slow) lizard walking towards Malia.


Taede is not afraid. Worrisome? Yes. Because I really don't want another bug-reptile lover in the house.

The Science Exhibit:

Playing the drums


Directing lightening


Making bubbles. HUGE bubbles.
The kids had the most fun here.


We probably could have made a bubble over Malia. They are that huge (and she's that little).


The Rainbow Bubble over Kael.


Kael, the Bubble Master.

And finally, the reason for our trip: Kael's Collage



Way to go Kael! We are so proud!
