Day Three - Fun In The Sun

It was a beautiful day so we called our friends Reanna and Melissa to go to Discovery Park with us for a picnic and some play fun. We totally forgot it was spring break and the park was a sea of blond hair and bright pink pants and shirts. The girls had a great time, however Mackenzie did spend a great deal of time wandering the park crying, Reanna, where are you, my friend..... I can't see you. So, sweet. You'd think they were long lost cousins. Well, I suppose they are now. What would life be without a friend to miss us when we're gone.

We also started Day One of our crystal gardens. Kenzie thinks science experiments are pretty cool, even if they are kind of stinky.

The Grand Finale - Crystal Garden

I'm giving this an A for a fun project to do. Click on the picture to see how awesome they look up close.... they blossomed even more over night without anything else being added.

Day Three - Crystal Garden

I added the concoction to the crystals this morning and they are getting richer in color, growing thicker and taller, and starting to creep up the sides of the pie tin. When I do this again I'm going to eleminate the step for day 2 and just add the concoction each day. All I need now is some water and a snorkel and we could explore our own coral reef....

Day Two - Crystal Garden

I was so excited when I ran out into the kitchen this morning to see if the crystals were growing and found that they were. I added the 2 more Tablespoons of salt.... to be continued....
