 Hudson, getting a hug from the fennec fox.  So cuddly and soft!
The Great Grass Challenge:

Northwest family living can be hard on the backyard grass.  2 kids, 5 dogs and a wet shady lawn resulted in a mud pit over the winter.  See how the Science Quest Kids were up for the challenge and even managed to make a science experiment out of it.

The Grass Science Experiment:


Bryden and Hudson disagree on what part of the lawn they think will grow better and faster.  This is a great science experiment you can do at home grow something a plant, grass, veggies etc. in 2 different parts of your yard and predict which one will grow better and why!
