Cade and Natalie's Easter Fun

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we had a great visit from Kelsey and Natalie a few weekends ago. Thanks to Kelsey's thoughtfulness and great photo-taking skills, we now have pictures to remember the day!

The kids started with an egg on the spoon race. I did this with one of my classes the week before, and now know that college students and 3 year olds love this activity equally!

Later, we got ready to dye some eggs. We tried both natural and artificial dyes, and discovered that the natural egg dyes are an interesting science experiment, but definitely don't yield the same vibrant colors as the good ol' Paas colors.

Here we are mixing grape juice and vinegar to make purple dye. This one worked the best out of all of the natural ones.

We also tried natural dyes with beets, spinach, and coffee.

Thanks again, Kelsey and Natalie, for making the trip to College Station to see us! Can't wait for the kids' birthdays to see each other again.
