Science: Squishy Egg and Beautiful Butterfly

Squishy Egg: Simply put an egg in vinegar and watch the acid eat the shell away(it takes a couple of days)
We might just have to do more Egg Experiments with so many around our house

It slowly bubbles and the shell dissolves

Then you can take it out and squish it

You can also see into it a bit (would have maybe worked better with a white egg...maybe we should see how white vs brown vs blue/green look different)  It was a fun easy experiment...until it got dropped too hard into the vinegar and broke open.


Butterfly in the Sky...well, soon.
Our Butterfly finally come out!  The Monarch is beautiful...I love the excitement on the kids faces

Studying the butterfly

#2 Boy got to take the butterfly out for the grand release

Away she went...Dad got her once and handed her down to #3 Girl

After that the butterfly just went higher and higher (Yes, Dad is trying to get her to fly down with wood ;-)
