Snappy is very interested in science. So I thought I'd have a little science lesson with the kids about solids, liquids, and gasses.
I gathered up a bunch of tupperware, and froze water in them. And I made a bunch of ice cubes. Then I dumped them all on the back patio and turned the kids loose.
They had a great time making ice castles. They had to move fast, though, because it was hot! We talked about what they observed -- such as the ice on the bottom of the castles was melting faster than on top -- and tried to see if we could come up with a scientific reason for our observations.
Mr. Monkey enjoyed licking the ice cubes.
All in all, a fun, cool, and educational hour spent!
