Meghan suggested that a good science project to do with the kids would be to make a solar oven. Somehow I hadn't really ever done or seen one before, but we decided s'mores would be a good first effort. It seemed to take forever to cook, so I gave them an extra hour, but when I went out to check on them, they were gone. The whole oven was gone. I looked around and found the whole thing turned upside down on the deck, as the wind had blown it off the picnic table. But at least the chocolate and the marshmallows were a little soft at that point, so I was able to salvage them from the oven and somewhat re-create the s'more structure.
Everyone got to eat one. The kids enjoyed theirs, but we made them take off their shirts because of all the chocolate and stickiness. Hannah was crying about something right before this, so she still has tears in her eyes, but the s'mores certainly helped her feel better quickly.
