Chemistry can be fun too

We're starting to feel settled in here in Salt Lake City, and our home renovations are almost done! I'll post pictures on that later, but wanted to share a fun one from a few nights ago. We were working downstairs, and Evan found John's molecular modeling set from grad school. These sets are basically a big box of beads and little sticks so that you can make molecules with atoms and bonds (I know, very nerdy). Anyhow, I can see how this would be a super-fun toy for a kid. Evan kept saying "open, please" but fortunately we managed to convince him that it is just as much fun to leave the box closed and shake it a bunch to hear the stuff rattle around inside.
