The Volcano

After we returned home from Meeting, Sofia wanted to open and build her brand new volcano! So, she and CK set to work and I was thankful to stay out of it since it looked somewhat complicated (and a little messy). It was surprisingly fast to construct and Sofia was beside herself having to wait to let it dry before painting it and letting it erupt. I think she must have asked 50 times whether it was ready!

The next morning, she and CK painted the new volcano! It ended up looking great and was soon ready to erupt! CK and Uncle Steve pulled together the necessary ingredients - baking soda, water, vinegar and red food coloring and we all headed outside to watch Sofia's volcano.
