Volcano Day


First I wanted to say sorry because I haven't written anything since August. My dad needs to use the laptop for class. Anyways, On Wednesday, I had to make a volcano and bring it to school. My dad bought black cherry soda, (which your supposed to use coke.) Then he glued it to a big piece of wood. After, we put foam around it piece after piece. after it dried, we spray painted it a brownish, red color. When I was at school, I left from my orchestra class early to put some black spots on it and went to lunch. ( I play the violin.) Then went to lunch with my parents. When I got back, I ended up exploding mine first. (Even though I didn't even know where I was supposed to set it down.) So my mom didn't get out of her class to see it in time. Then my dad opened the lid and dropped in mentos and tried to screw the lid shut. But he didn't do it in time! So some of the soda sprayed at him so he hurried out of the way. The soda went pretty high. It was such a fun day! (thanks for helping dad.)
