The kids (and Chris) eagerly await the eruption.
Rudy getting a closer look.
What's going to happen?
The directions said to use club soda and the tablets included. The soda was added first and then 5 tablets - 10 if you wanted a bigger eruption. We added 5 first, just to see what happened - nothing. Then we added a few more and a few more until we had used them all - about 30 tablets. Here's what we got.
The kids finally got to take a closer look, once we realized nothing much was happening.
It was quite a let down - we'll have to try to make an eruption with vinegar and baking soda, since I know that works and is more impressive than this kit!
After lunch we headed to the boat. As usual, Rudy wanted to ride in Chris and Patti's van, and Lucy wanted to ride with us.
As we drove, Lucy had fun taking pictures.
W got to the boat dock and waited for Bill, Renee and Paige.
He was actually happy to be going on the boat, he just decided to have this face for the picture.
The fishers heading off.
While the guys fished, the females and boy under 5, went to the boardwalk. Lucy again took some pictures in the car.
Lucy enjoyed going on many, many rides.
Paige was very happy despite the fact that she wasn't tall enough for most rides.
Lucy's favorite ride of the day.
After a few hours, we headed back to the dock to meet the guys. They had fun, although they didn't catch anything big enough to keep.
Some pictures Paul took on the fishing trip.
Max and Rudy got a chance to steer the boat - look out other boaters!
(Not sure why this is coming up so small.)
Dad made the first catch of the day.
