Almost Perfect

The days,

recently,

have been almost perfect.

In spite of Crista

getting over a sinus infection

and Addie Grace and I

fighting off one now,

the days have been exciting and full and bright.

 

We started this morning off with a little science experiment.

We gathered our supplies...

vinegar in a Ziploc

warm water

and

baking soda.



 

 

 

Oh, and did I mention

the girls had a

self-proclaimed

Mis-Match Day?!

Most obvious by their choice in footwear.

 

Back to the experiment ;-)

I asked the girls

what they thought would happen.

Crista guessed it would explode.

Addie did too.

Because she always answers the same as her big sis.

 

We mixed the liquids

and added the baking soda

and sealed the bags

and waited.

 

 

 

 

The first attempt was an epic FAIL.

The bag was too large

and the ingredients did not produce enough carbon dioxide

to fill the bag completely.

 

So, we tried again,

this time with a smaller Ziploc.

 

 

 

 

 

Worked like a charm

the second time!

The girls loved our little explosion

and wanted to do it again!

 

 

After supper,

the weather was just too perfect

not to enjoy.

So we took a family bike ride...

this time with Addie Grace

riding on her own bike!

This was her first family bike ride with us

and she did wonderfully!

We rode about 2.5 miles and she

kept up like a pro!

Not too shabby for her first attempt!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm so thankful to live in a small, quaint community where

we can take long family bike rides.

I'm thankful for perfect spring weather

that begs us to enjoy.

I'm thankful for uninterrupted family time

where we can all reconnect and soak in

each other.

I'm just so thankful!
