Jayden's Volcanoes

Jayden has this reading homework for school, and when the two of us have read 100 books together he gets a free book from his teacher. So last week, he hit his 100th book, and he brought home his new book called Horrible Harry and the Locked Closet, and it's a story about a bunch of kids in elementary school and in their classroom there is a locked closet that hasn't been opened for over 40 years, and they solve the mystery behind why it was locked. Also, their class was studying volcanoes, which Jayden just loves, and they build a volcano, and have it blow up. So Jayden wanted me to make him a volcano that would explode too. I told him that I couldn't because I didn't know what ingredients they had mixed together to make it explode, and Jayden was so sad. Then, a few days later when we finished the book we noticed that at the end of the book the author had inserted the volcano recipe, so kids could make a volcano at home, just like Harry and his friends. Jayden was so excited, and wanted me to make a volcano, so the next night we did. We got all of the ingredients together, and Jayden and Jacklyn were watching very excitedly. Then I asked Jayden if he was ready for the final ingredient, he said yes, and I dumped the vinegar in, and it exploded and flowed over the glass like lava. It was pretty cool to watch, even Micah came to in watch the volcanic eruption. So that was our excitement for the week. We have actually had a lot of fun activities going on this week. I might post some of them tomorrow, or later, I'll have to see. Have a great weekend everyone.
