Mad Scientist Birthday Party

We had so much fun at Chance's birthday party!! It's always fun to celebrate with family and friends!!
All ready to start the experiments!!

On a coffee filter they drew designs with markers and then sprayed water on it and watched the colors spread out!

We filled a bowl with a little milk and a drop of food coloring. Then we dipped a toothpick in dish soap and touched the drop of food coloring and the drop would disperse.

We filled a bottle with water, a little bit of vinegar, and a tablespoon or so of baking soda and were excited with the results!!

We cut a pringle can, added wax paper to the lid, and then taped the can back together with duct tape and with the lid in the middle.With a push pin we made a hole in the bottom of the pringle can. We then looked through the open end of the can in a sunny spot and everything appeared upside down!!



Our big 6 year old! He is such a joy!!

Ostrich Egg


First step, make a hole in the egg with hammer and screwdriver.

Next, stir contents with a skewer.

Then, dump the contents into a bowl.

Finally, enjoy! It tastes just like a chicken egg. Chance didn't think so but I think it's because he knew it actually wasn't!

Solvang


A bit rainy but still a lot of fun!!


Delicious chocolates!

Best buds!

Luke was rocking out to the music! It was so funny!
