Making Clouds and Rain

A cloud science experiment helped us understand that the clouds are full of moisture. When they get full, the moisture gets heavy and drops, in the form of rain.

We used water in the bottom of the jar, which represented the atmosphere, then the shaving cream was the clouds. We put drops of liquid food coloring into the clouds, and when they were full, the liquid dropped from the cloud into the atmosphere. It worked put well.

Family Walk to Watch the Sunset

A Portrait of Ethan

Anna drew a portrait of Ethan, sucking his thumb and stroking his hair. Clearly an accurate depiction during this time of his life.
