Fun Science Experiment

In my opinion this was the best science experiment ever! You put 1 cup of cornstarch in a dish, add 2/3 cup of water to it and stir. Then add another 1/2 cup of cornstarch and mix. It became a gooey mixture that is solid when you put pressure on it, but a liquid when you don't. This experiment was a simulation of Plastic Rock that is in the mantle of the earth. Here are some pictures:

We also added blue food colouring...

which kind of turned our hands blue

It was really fun to play with and I loved it!

Sailing

Sailing is one of the many things I love. My Grandpa has a sailboat and I absolutely love it when we go sailing for a day. Here are some pictures of our first sail of the season:

Motoring out of the Harbor

On to real sailing

Fun on the bow of the boat

We sailed around the big tankers

We also saw a hovercraft

 We saw this interesting flag on one of the ships. It was the flag of 

Denmark with the flag of the Bahamas in the corner.

Ship from Panama

A day of sailing wouldn't be complete without a puzzle book

Back to the harbor we go

I absolutely love sailing and hope that we can go many times this year.

Easter 2013

Easter is a very special time of year. It is the time that we celebrate Jesus' death on the cross, and his resurrection  to free us from our sins. We had a nice Easter dinner and of course an Easter egg hunt. Here are some Photos:

Having fun searching for eggs

 Amihan's very first Easter egg hunt

First time on grass

We hang large eggs from the tree in our front yard.

It is so nice to be together with family to celebrate what Jesus did for us.
