The Volcano.

Ever since we took our vacation to Washington State and visited Mount St. Helen, Griffin has been fascinated with volcanos. He LOVES studying them.


He received this wonderful volcano building kit for his birthday


Together he and Mike started putting it together


They had to actually "build" the volcano which was great fun


After it dried he painted it


Pretty cool paint job!


To make it erupt he put a little bit of baking soda in the volcano and then poured a bit of vinegar in it ... voila ...


His volcano erupts!


He decided he was going to name his volcano Mt. Griffin ... that's a pretty catchy name don't ya think?

Thank you A,C,H,Z,S & S for the great gift ... you rock!

  3. What an explosive gift! Sorry couldn't resist. It's an awesome gift that I know Mike enjoyed probably as much as Griffin.
