Ice Eggs

'Cos what else are you going to do when it's 1 degree F outside?

We used party balloons from the store but found that they didn't stretch well, hence the small "eggs."  Sis particularly liked coloring the water, even playing with the color--filling blue balloons with red water to make a purple balloon that revealed a reddish egg when opened, etc.  It was hard to remove the balloon, standing outside in the cold at the bus stop without gloves using my keys to rip holes in the rubber (are they rubber?  plastic?)  And despite being frozen solid, the eggs were fragile--the blue one cracked in half when I dropped it in the snow.

So, with different balloons--oooh, like long ones for balloon animals maybe!--that stretch better, this could be more fun.  Especially since we're not really rising above freezing in the next 10 days!

I've got bubbles on standby for later.
