Rainy Day Activities

I brought some celery home from the store the other day and Mason couldn't wait to show us the experiment he did at school.  We took a stalk of celery and put it in a cup of water with food coloring in it.  (any color will do, we chose red ... my favorite color).  We left it overnight and when we looked at it the next morning, it had pulled the food coloring all the way up almost to the leaves.  Next time, we'll try it with blue ... and lots more food coloring.  It was cool.  I think he felt like big man on campus for being able to show us this.
