Summer Vacay - Day 39: Sun Dial

This morning as soon as we woke up we made ourselves a sun dial. We weren't too sure if it was going to work but we every hour on the hour we went outside and marked our dial where the shadow lied and noted the time.

12 hours later our sun dial was only off about 1 hour which I thought was pretty good considering it spent the day on our front porch with the kids continually running in and out. I'm sure it got kicked and nudged and then quickly righted so next time we'll be a lot more careful as to where we put it but it was a pretty good activity. It kept the kids engaged and I found them reminding me each hour to check and mark the dial so definitely a success.
