Ice Lanterns

The icy cold weather hit our area, and Ella's school was closed.  Most of the day was spent indoors, but we did venture out a few times to blow bubbles and create balloon ice art.

WISHING YOU A WEEKEND OF FUN AND WARMTH!

From Reptiles to Rainforests

Ella sure enjoyed touching all those creepy reptiles (I had to act like I thought it was fun, too).

Chasing Bubbles

A Springtime favorite:  blowing bubbles into the soft warm air, chasing them, and enjoying a wonderfully ephemeral moment!

Creating Fog

Listening to dad describe how warm water and ice create fog

 Slimy Pie Ingredients

"Earthworm pie"

Is that flower behind her ear supposed to make the pie she's about to serve me more desirable?

"Neon Moon" Bath

Lavender oil, bubbles, water balloons, moon, stars, neon..."oh what a night"!

Lights out...

Bubbles

Bubble Recipe: 

• Mix 2.5 cups of water with .5 cup of corn syrup in microwave safe bowl
• Microwave for 3-4 minutes 
• Stir in .5 cup of Dawn dishwashing detergent.

We even tried dipping different kitchen utensils in our bubble mix.  Some worked better than others....
