The second grade at Lauren's school has a annual event, Ice Castle building. This is the 16th year that the second grade has done this activity. For the past few weeks Lauren and I have been making ice blocks to bring to the Ice Castle building day. This morning all the kids brought their ice blocks and the classes had fun building castles. They used rock salt to keep the blocks together. The kids had a great time. They came out and looked at the castles throughout the day to see what happens.

Lauren and I had a great time making the ice blocks. We added a lot of coloring and some other items. These other items included marshmallows, pasta, ribbons, gold fish and etc. It was fun to see what we could come up with and how it would turn out. Lauren and at great time with this activity and it was fun for me to watch.
