Volkano6

Regardless of the spelling one thing is certain, my Baboo has an unbelievable fascination with them, ranging from drawing pictures to using the word itself in his 'super secret' Poptropica password (see post title).  I would love nothing more than to be able to take Xaine to see one up close in person... one day I PROMISE I will.  I figure in the mean time, like everything in life, sometimes you have to start small and build up.  Seeing that we don't have any volcano's near by we did the next best thing...
We MADE our own by finally putting that pile of dirt in the backyard to good use.  With our bare hands we sculpted and molded a mountain of explosive potential with a flume so deep one could easily fall in (and Xaine would have had he not trusted his Dadoo's support of him).

A spritz of gray spray paint here and there added the final touches of rock on earth.  Now we wait for an eruption......................... ok it's been way to long (approximately 10sec) and not even a grumble from our creation. 

Time to take matters into our hands......

Never before has such fury been witnessed so closely (Ok..ok maybe fizzle vs. fury would have been a better adjective... but we had fun).  While the earth was left hollow and cracked...

...this experience has left a lasting footprint in my memories which i'm sure will only promote more creativity and adventures in mine and Baboo's future....
