Geyser!

Kennedy has really been diggin her science kit we got her for Christmas.  She wants to do new experiments all the time.  She has been asking and asking to make a geyser and for the last two weeks there just hasn't been enough time, or we don't have the ingredients, or we aren't home, or blah blah blah....so busy! So finally, after MUCH MUCH MUCH anticipation we did the geysers last weekend. 

At first, Shane was solo doing the prep work.  Everyone was a little timid to get near it.  I mean, we were really waiting for this thing to blow!!!

Kennedy got brave and decided to help him out.

Are you ready for it? Are you REALLY ready for it?  It's gonna be H - U - G- E!!!!!!!!!!! (scroll down)

And this was it..........

So we tried again thinking surely more Mentos would make a bigger blast.  Here's attempt 2:

Hmmmm...the intimidation has worn off.  Note to self regarding science experiments:  too much climatic build-up that turns out anti-climatic is funny for the parents but not for the kids :)
