Projects are the new awesome

I've always categorized myself as "not good at science (or math, sorry aaron)" but when nathaniel was in town I realized I was so good at science projects! First, when it was dark I chomped on a wint-o-green lifesaver and it sparked in my mouth! The second science project we tried was putting mentos into a 2-liter of coke to make a volcano!

First things first. Nathaniel was so thirsty.


For those non-scientists out there, science projects take a lot of preperation. In this case Nathaniel had to open the box of mint mentos.


At first I was nervous to get too close.


Then I remembered that science is serious and dangerous and sometimes you just have to take the risk. Nathaniel prepped 5 mentos in his hand to drop into the bottle.


Let the science begin.


***IMAGINE PIC OF COKE GEYSER SHOOTING AT LEAST 10 FEET IN THE AIR***
(i got a little bit nervous and ran away, no big deal)

Maybe I was screaming and yelling when I took this picture because I was so excited that our experiment worked. Don't worry about it.


If you live in my building (Jordan) and are concerned about the coke on the roof (Paul), the forecast this weekend is rain (Rebecca).


Speaking of roofs. My good friends Doug and Rich have a little project of their own happening. They're remodeling their cute little house in San Carlos into a giant mansion. I like to call it the Estate at Brittan.


No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the whole Estate at Brittan in the picture.


Before we went out to dinner, Rich and Doug gave me the grand tour including the guest quarters. Apparently not everyone loves houseguests as much as Rebecca and I do.
