Sunday afternoon hike with girls

Amanda stopped by and we decided to go on a short hike. We got a late start, so it was a good thing that I had my headlamp. On the way back we saw two little yellow eyes looking back at us in the trees and realized it was an owl. Rachel was a little scared about hiking in the dark until I gave her my phone for a flashlight. -Dad

Zoe: "I Love My Rachel and David"

Rachel's cute hairstyle for Zoe; love her side bangs with the pebbles pony:)

Aren't my tulips GORGEOUS!?!!

  They have brought me so much joy the last week or so they have been blooming.

Can't wait for Spring and then yea! The lazy days of SUMMER!

So precious to hear Zoe say, "I love my Rachel and David"

This little ball of energy loves to jump on the trampoline!

A Day at the Park- Rachel David and Zoe

Zoe's Julia Makeover

Julia had fun playing makeup with Zoe. She has pink glossy lips, mascara!, and cheer glitter (which was Zoe's favorite). A cute pink bow and tiny ponytail in the back completed her makeover by Julia.

Zoe Loves Smoothies

Zoe showing me she was all done with her smoothie and asking for more.

Coconut water, frozen pineapple, kale and frozen triple berries.

I was kind of shocked she liked it so much because it had a bunch of kale in it but she drank it down and asked for more!

I a Nerd

Zoe thought she was pretty funny yesterday when she put these glasses on and pronounced,

 "I a Nerd!"

Smell-ips

Zoe came over today after a weeks vacation with her Mommy because Cami had the week off. We went out side to look at the tulips blooming. Zoe was so cute as she told me how pretty they were and kept trying to smell them. She said, "I like your smell-ips!"

Fizzy Foam Science Activites 1 & 2

 Yesterday we learned that baking soda (a base) and citric acid (an acid) makes a gas called carbon dioxide when mixed together.  It's a chemical reaction! The fizz we observed was made up of lots of tiny carbon dioxide bubbles.

Step 1 today was dissolving the baking soda in water. We used the base of baking soda to test different liquids to see if they were acidic.

 Vinegar made a fizzing reaction which told us that yes, it was an acid.

 Squeezed half of a lemon into the cup, then added 1 tablespoon baking soda.  Super fizzy!
Super big YES; lemon juice is acidic.

 Observing the bubbles as he stirred with the stir stick.

 Apple-berry juice showed no fizzing when added to the baking soda so we inferred it was not acidic.

 Lemon juice was so fun they decide try that again to observe the big chemical reaction.

 Loved those happy interested faces today:)
