Building Olympus Mons

Bubby finished up his study of Mars last week with a project. He was anticipating building his Olympus Mons model for DAYS.

A Salt Dough model, some baking soda, dish soap, vinegar and red food coloring and here we have it:

jan.21.09 001 jan.21.09 002

jan.21.09 003  jan.21.09 006 jan.21.09 005  jan.21.09 004

jan.21.09 007  jan.21.09 008

jan.21.09 009 

He decided towards the end that the lava wasn't red enough. He added some more food coloring and here is what he got:

 jan.21.09 010 jan.21.09 011

Quite honestly, it looked a bit like a crime scene by the end. =)

His review: "That was the most funnest thing I ever did in all of my life!" Yep .... off to work on grammar! =)
