Jared and Draken worked many hours on a science project that measured how fast ice melts and water boils. Not as much fun as watching paint dry, but close.
|
Simson visited Google Europe in Zürich.

While in Zürich, Simson bought a massive Toblerone chocolate bar.
Surprisingly, we have finished it by now.

Wishing you and yours a safe and happy 2014. (For some reason, the FBI was giving out these candles made from jellied gasoline at a recruiting event. We can't figure it out either.)
