Levitating balloon trick

Science fair project time.
Not usually my favorite thing. It's always due right after Christmas (I guess they think we'll work on it over the break - yeah, right). And it's always left till the last minute. Anyway, this year we went on the easy end of the project spectrum. Just a couple balloons, a freezer and a blow dryer. Then measure the balloon and see what happens to the volume of air in the balloon. Simple, yes; but it got the job done. Isaac got it done in just 2 days, all by himself! Anyway...
These pics are NOT about the project. They are what he did after the experiment. Isaac did magic with the balloons and made them levitate. Kept him entertained for almost an hour!

I [heart] Faces

I [heart] Faces is a new photo blog dedicated to pictures of, yep, you guessed it, faces. They run a contest every week. There is a category for kids and one for adults. So I am entering this week with these two pics:

This is Hazel and her friend Kiley at our campout a couple weeks ago. They are such cute friends.

I think you've probably seen this one of Nate before. But it's a fun one.

So, be sure to check them out, and a bunch of others, at I [heart] Faces.

Funny Faces

Today we were having fun--kind of like low-tech Photoshop.

We did this a few years ago.  It is nice to see how the kids have grown.

I really like this one as well.
