Weather Girls

Jessica is doing the weather unit in science right now. It's fun for both girls because Makenna remembers doing all the observations and measurements herself, and Jess remembers helping her. So now Jess is the boss and Makenna is the helper. In the picture, Makenna is holding the anamometer and thermometer and Jess is taking notes. Of course most of the days have been calm with not a cloud in the sky--not the most interesting for weather.

I kept thinking back to this day during my recent race, wishing I could trade days. Jess could have measured crazy wind (if it didn't break apart her device), identify at least 2 different cloud types and even have some rain to meausre. And Jen and I could have had a lovely clear day to run.
