Today is our first day of summer break! I am loving it so far. We are busy doing a whole bunch of nothing today. I wanted a nice long day of laziness. Maybe tomorrow we will do something productive. We have relatives coming to visit over the weekend so we should do a good scrub around the house. A fun family is not necessarily an always spotless family. :)

My kids keep wanting to do the Rubber Egg experiment so we have yet another one going on the kitchen counter. It is actually ready to pull out we just keep forgetting about it until James is home from work. He is not too fond of the vinegar smell so we keep putting it off. We should probably get around to it soon. I can only imagine that the smell must get worse with time.

The rubber egg experiment is a rather simple one. You just place a raw egg in a clear jar and fill it with vinegar. After around 24 hours you replace the vinegar in the jar with fresh vinegar. It will be done after about 7 days. Your kids will have fun watching the bubbles form around the egg as the vinegar breaks down the shell.

For the full instructions and the science lesson you can go to the Rubber Egg Experiment on the main site.
