Science Project

My son has a science project each month that he must complete with a science buddy. This month he chose his brother. They had to place a variety of substances in water and then place it on different parts of their tongue to see where they taste it. The boys had a lot of fun.

Friday

Friday Night Lights!  

 It's that time of the year again, when football is here. High school games, cheering in the stands and on Friday nights, you can hear the roar of the crowd from our house at the La Joya High School.  Bring on the popcorn, soda and hotdogs. For it is that time of year!
