Science fun!

This is a very late post, but my pics are too cute not to share...

Evie was invited to my friend's daughter's 6 year old "mad science" birthday party. I wasn't sure whether Evie would enjoy the party since she tends to be shy with new kids and my attempts at explaining science in preparation to the party was pretty sad.

I'm happy to report that Evie loved the party. The "mad scientist" who was the teacher looked like a college kid who had no idea how to manage 12 screaming kids but I don't think any of them even paid attention when his tricks went awry. He showed them lots of things including how electricity works, making different color fire, how to make fireworks, and how to make cotton candy. Evie didn't pick up on the SCIENCE behind any of these experiments, but she sure had fun watching or doing the experiments themselves.

The start of the party - some skepticism and lots of concentration
on what the Mad Scientist was saying.

I love all of their reaction to fireworks!

Making "slime".

Trying the cotton candy. She didn't like it.

I wanted to capitalize on her interest in Science after the party so I bought a "my first science experiment" kit that we've been playing with in the evening. This is Evie making a test tube crystal ball, which is otherwise known as mixing water, oil and a color tablet together to make sparkly water.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Cousins trip: Banff!

Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
