Gummy Worms

...and the fun after bubbles continued!  We made some homemade gummy worms with jello, gelatin and Kool aid!

 We put the straws in a dish, poured in the boiling mixture, set some knives on them to hold them down and put them in the fridge to harden.  When done they just pealed right out of the dish.

Here's what the straws looked like once we peeled them out of the rest of the mixture. 

 We figured out that we needed to leave them out to soften a bit and then we had to roll them out individually with a rolling pin.  TOO MUCH WORK but fun memory!

Zoe and I had fun together and lots of laughs!

 We tried to make them look more real and gross. :)

 MMmmmm, want a snack?!

 We also made a batch with a different recipe which only used water and jello.  These melted far too easily but were quite good!

 Now to try them out!  

 Yes, we feed our son WORMS!!!

 I couldn't pick just one.  And no, he didn't eat all of them!  :)  We shared! :)

He would have LIKED to eat them all himself though! :)

Yep, a FUN FUN day with cousins!!!
