Snow Experiment

Nick's cousins Henry and Helen were over this weekend. We had an early spring snow on Sunday and they desparetely wanted outside, but didn't have their boots. So I opened the back door and let them reach out to grab snow with spoons and put into mixing bowls. They were scientists collecting snow samples. They put them into smaller bowls and in the freezer to see what would happen. While they were downstairs playing, we put food coloring in each of their bowls. They came up later to find their experiments had turned different colors! So fun, until they all started touching the colored ice and dying their fingers. When it came time to check their samples next, they found bowls of clear water. It's fun being an adult.
