the family von-nerd

remember the von trapp family? well we're the family von nerd. at least in the bottom picture.

ryan and a couple of co-workers had their kids come to work today to check things out. because of safety restrictions, we aren't able to just "pop" into ryan's offices whenever the mood strikes.

so, we donned our safety glasses and took a tour of a few labs and offices. ryan showed us part of an experiment where they test flame speed. we also got to hold our hands under a test tube and watch the liquid boil from the heat in our hands. cool!
i should have used this photo for our christmas cards!
