Sunday Experiments

Every once in a while, Josh has to go in to the lab on weekends.  Sometimes, we get to go as a family.  Ryan and I hang out and read books or watch movies while Josh sets up his experiment.  Then we usually find some grub together.  Josh's experiments usually involve the use of robots like the one below.  So, while we are out eating, the robots are back at the lab doing most of the work.

Today, Josh showed Ryan some cool science. 
He blew up a glove and brought out some liquid nitrogen.

Then Josh put the glove in the liquid nitrogen and we watched the glove shrink.
Josh then brought the glove out and we watched it return to it's normal shape and size.


Ryan was pretty impressed.  When it was over, Josh poured a little liquid nitrogen out on the floor and let Ryan chase the mist it made. 
Then Josh took us to a frozen yogurt place called Razzifresh.  I had never been before.  He discovered it when I was in the hospital with Dylan and had taken Ryan.  It was pretty neat.  I really enjoyed the topping buffet which had a bunch of fresh fruit!
