Making Play Dough

We had a great time making play dough. We got the recipe from preparedpantry.com.

Mia measured out the ingredients while Myles was in charge of the mixer.

Mia LOVES Harry

Currently Mia is in love with Harry Potter. This morning she woke up and said she had Harry Potter on the brain and it would not leave her. She decided to draw about it.



and this is one of my favorites...

and another drawing this one has Myles, Mia and Harry in it.

Sea Monkeys

The beauty of Sea Monkeys... It is hard to capture that beauty on camera.

We have learned so much about these little things. They are a relative of the Brine Shrimp, they do not need salt water. We were wondering why some of the Sea Monkeys have brown sacks above their tails and others do not. After some web research found out that they are egg sacks on the female Sea Monkey. Cool! Currently we have 6 female and 4 male. The male seems to like riding along with the female, attached to the female's egg sack. hummm...

Visit to the Fire Station

Thanks to The Harrisonburg Fire Station #28 we were able to tour the insides of a firehouse. We loved seeing the gear, trucks, fire resistant clothing. We learned about fire safty, smoke alarms, stove tops, and how to escape from a window.

We left with lots of SMILES!
