October? REALLY?

It has continued to be dry and sunny here. Pretty strange indeed. It is cooling off in the evenings lately and supposed to be in the high 30's tonight. But this afternoon in was in the low 70's, just lovely.

The other evening after dinner we went for a bike ride and we all commented on how beautiful the evening was. The temperature was perfect. The scattered clouds in the sky were reflecting the beautiful pinks and oranges of the setting sun.Odin rides at the same speed that we do now. And when he wants to he goes crazy fast.

This evening after dinner we made a few baking soda / vinegar rockets. My sister sent us some tiny plastic test tubes (with stoppers) filled with candy. Odin enjoyed the candy then thought to blast the test tubes into the sky. They worked way better than the film canister rockets ever did for us. One of then blasted about 20 feet high!

We also used the baking soda volcano that Odin made a few months ago. I thought I had some pictures, but I need to search a bit more . . .
