Summer Fun - Week 3
This past week, we went to Arctic Circle to play inside, had a Mario Kart Tournament, went to the Splash Pad, did some Science Experiments, Took Silly Pictures, practiced the art of Photo Bombing, and just for the heck of it - wandered through Model Homes.
Arctic Circle
We went at about 4 o'clock, got an ice cream cone and had the place all to ourselves. It was great.
Splash Pad
Science Experiments
Lifting a friend -
When you blow into the plastic bag, the air pushes the person off the book. I was the only one with enough lung capacity to make it work...so there are no pictures of it being successful.
Paper Plunge -
Crumpled paper in the bottom of a cup, push the cup into water upside down, the paper doesn't get wet. They were amazed!
Bobbing Raisins -
Put some raisins in a cup of Sprite, the bubbles attach to the raisins and make them float. When they get to the top, the bubbles pop and the raisin sinks again, and does this over and over. Thus...bobbing raisins.
Baking Soda and Vinegar Volcanoes
Lava Lamps -
Oil and water put together in a bottle. It makes cool waves and such...they liked looking through the bottle.
And Ms. Molly just hung out and crawled around the family room. (Have I mentioned she's army crawling all over the place? Because life wasn't exciting enough already.)
Silly Pictures/Photo Bombing
Marty tried to get the baby or himself in a lot of the pictures, thus introducing our kids to photo bombing. Then the fun really got started.

| He said, "Claire, do a nice picture for mom now". She had no idea he was doing this beside her! |
 |
| While it looks like he's preparing to throw Molly...it was just funny timing. No baby was hurt. |
