Rock Candy Experiment

Audree and I made an attempt at growing our own rock candy.

Done!

The instructions said to add 3 drops of food coloring, we put in 4 but even that didn't seem to add any color at all to the finished product.

Try it yourself!

Just make sure your stick or string does not touch the bottom or sides of the jar. I remember doing this once as a kid and the crystal grew onto the container. It becomes nearly impossible to pull out without breaking the glass.

We had a decent snow today. Juliette bundled all up, then spent about :45s outside.

Audree bundled all up, then took a phone call from a friend. Speak up I can't hear you!
