Lindsey the Science Girl


Lindsey decided to enter her school's Science Fair, and insisted on making the ultimate cliche - the VOLCANO!
Yes, my daughter is fascinated with things that explode. So, we helped her research volcanoes, build a paper mache model, and make a display board. After all, who wants to be the parent who discourages scientific curiosity? Basically, all she really learned is that lava is called magma before it comes out, and lava flows are pretty at night. But the sheer joy on her pretty, little face when Kent and I took her to the Science Fair last night and she saw her purple participation ribbon was worth every second. She loved demonstrating the awesome power of volcano eruptions for her class today, too. Tonight, we'll get ice cream to celebrate - and start planning next year's experiment.
