This guy was showing tension points in glass and if you hit the weak places (even softly) then the glass will shatter.

Corning Museum of Glass
We went with some friends from our ward/Sam's program to the Corning Museum of Glass. It was way cooler than I was expecting. I did not know anything about glass and I learned so much! I didn't know the consistency of glass when it is melted. During the hot glass show, they said it has the consistency of cold honey. They were just pouring the glass! It was incredible. Also, glass is used for so many things that I did not realize (optical fiber, microchips, etc.).

your baby is too cute!
That looks like so much fun!
I'm sad that map was the most exciting part of the museum for Alex. Maybe because that's the only interactive part he could take part in?? (He looked so cute eating it up!) I'm jealous you got to go there. It looks SO neat!
You got some great pictures! And reminded me how cool some of the things they do there are.
Wow that looks really neat! I would love to go to a place like that. I bet it was so cool! alex is so cute and getting so big!
We need to get out there. That looks really cool. And we need to hang out too. I always love your visits and have fun just talking. Thanks for taking your time to come. And way to go on the ward missionary thing - you guys are the All-Stars and I'm pretty sure we're the Flunkies. :)
