GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

My son and his family live in central Michigan, a 10 hour drive from here with gas and kid breaks. We don't get to see them enough but they made the long trip down here this weekend. The postal abbreviation for Michigan is MI. It's MO for Missouri. Clever Andy refers to his division as MICrowes and ours as MOCrowes.

So we all went to the Magic House, STL's children's museum yesterday morning. OMG was it crowded. At some point part of the family made it to their Van der Graff generator. MICrowe Audrey, almost 6, had no fear. https://youtu.be/PIb6AZdTr-A Great phone cam shot by daughter Emily.

The first time we saw a Van der Graff generator was at the Deutches Muzeum in Munich, at least 30 years ago. We expect to be there in September but, with the passage of time, I don't have enough hair to be worth a try.           

MADELEINE MONDAY

On Saturday afternoon we took the kid to the local children's' museum, The Magic House. One feature we haven't gone to in awhile is the Van de Graff generator (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graff_generator ). It produces high voltage with low current and makes your hair go frizzz. (I don't have enough hair to go anywhere.) Ellie was afraid of it in the past. No more.
