Trying to Beat the Heat

The heat has just been unbearable already this summer, so we've been doing what we can to stay entertained while still staying out of the heat.  So, we built a road out of masking tape that travels the entire living room.  She loves taking her cars up and over all of the furniture, and the best part is that you can just rip it off and make a new one really easily. 

We've also been doing science experiments.  I know that there's no way that she will grasp the science behind most of the things we do, but it's still fun to do them and watch her face as things happen and she tries  to figure it all out.  This one uses vinegar and baking soda to blow up a balloon, but we've also made our own bouncy balls, made play doh and slime as well as sidewalk chalk.

We did have one of the balloons shoot across the room because I put too much vinegar and baking soda in it, but unfortunately I didn't capture that moment with the camera...you should have seen her face!
