Eruption on Mt. Vernon Drive...

There was an eruption on Mt. Vernon Drive last night!
 Blake finished making his volcano--a Christmas gift from his Big Sister.
After cutting up a disposable container (old milk carton) to mix the volcano-building material,
 he stirred and blended the mixture with water.

Got his hands in the muck...sandy stuff that dries slowly
so there's plenty of time to create the mountainous volcano.

A little landscaping for scale and bit of reality...

...paint to develop character...

...and finally, it's ready to go.

He pours in a tablespoon of soda...

...stirs up a vial of vinegar and dishwashing liquid
(the instructions say to be sure to wear those goggles!)...

...and thar' she blows!!!!
