Science Experiments and Tea Parties!

Volcano-making supplies
Reed adding "lava"
Cassidy's turn to pour the vinegar. Look at Reed - you can't see his face completely, but he has a huge, excited grin on his face!
I love how Cassidy is so intently watching everything Aunt Becky is doing!
High Tea at the Blankinship Estate

We LOVE Aunt Becky! She has been such fun for all of us and I love and appreciate all the help she provides me! She has conducted a few science experiments with (not on) the kids:

  1. Geodes (pictured previously)

  2. A volcano (yes, she even cleaned up her own mess!)

  3. A swirling water vortex using 2 2-liter bottles
Reed asks her for a new experiment everyday! But, lest you think she is JUST a science nerd, she also planned, prepped and dressed for a fancy tea party. Reed, while he enjoyed the tea party, has NOT been asking for one everyday...Cassidy is! And since she has been here, I've added a new pair of shoes, 2 new dresses, some slightly more trendy shirts, a pair of shorts and some new make-up. Becky is my resident fashionista! Needless to say, the Blankinship family feels very blessed to have such an awesome Aunt Becky!
