SCIENCE NIGHT!!
Last week, we went to a science night and did a few very cool experiments. The kids had to wear "safety goggles."  This particular experiment was called "elephant toothpaste.  It was a reaction between high-grade peroxide, dishsoap, food coloring, and yeast.  Poured the yeast into the peroxide mixture and out it came... purple elephant toothpaste!

Todd, Elodie, and I have been working on a system that will allow us all to be able to do the things we love.  Although it is far from being refined, it seems to work well.  One of us gets up at the "butt crack", goes for a cool bike ride somewhere, and then arrives home when the others are just getting up.  Elodie hasn't been able to wake up early enough to take her day, so Todd and I use her days... heehee!  Most of the time these early morning rides take place in a wonderful place called "The High Alpine" and are really the most beautiful places anytime of day, but you should see the  mornings.  This was my morning:
 THANK YOU, GOD, FOR THESE ENDLESS WONDERS AND PEACEFUL MOMENTS IN A WORLD THAT ALL TOO COMMONLY FORGETS BOTH!





Thank you, Goat family, for being able to see you this morning.  It was good to see you again. Your family has grown!
