Ever wonder what it would be like to see 20,000 bouncy balls drop from a helicopter? Well, you're in luck! This past week was Geek Week at Utah State University so the College of Science had different things going on each day. On Thursday, the physics department had a helicopter hover over the parking lot near the football stadium and drop all those balls. It was really cool...but then kinda scary when all those balls start coming at you like a tidal wave.
We took a video of it, but it's not that great (and it was taking forever to upload to here). You can
find the video on Youtube.
The kids were able to collect quite a few balls to take home...
When we got home, Trevor's Sunbeam teacher brought over cupcakes since it was St. Patrick's Day. She is the cupcake queen and makes everything from scratch. Oh my, they were delicious. A slight mint chocolate flavor. Yum.
