Rock Candy?

Even though I worked most of the weekend, I found some time to stop and make rock candy with the family. It really is a neat thing to do but be prepared to use just about all your 5lb bag of sugar. We all got different flavors. There is plain, chocolate mint, green lemon, and plain yellow. One problem that I realized afterward, is that I don't think I saturated the water enough with sugar. Normally, it takes 7 days, we might be waiting like 20 days. I hope not. Here is Day 1 pictures.
