Work visit

Last Thursday was Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work day so I signed Frejya out of school early and brought her to campus for some fun. The University is really good about making it a super fun day for the kids while showcasing all the cool and important things that happen there. We started with tours of both the ARC and the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology (which was super cool). We then went and watched the Chemistry magic show, which was also very fun. Here she is waiting for it to start:


The kids got to eat graham crackers that had been dipped in liquid nitrogen. So cold!!



The whole show was really fun to watch. Lots of exploding things and very interactive. Frejya loved it.








We then went and got to explore some bugs using microscopes and then also went to the Bohart Museum of Entomology. Lots of cool bugs to look at. Made me pretty glad that's not the department I work in, though. Bugs are definitely not my favorite things.


We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring all the different art galleries on campus. I love that Frejya enjoys art and museums as much as I do. We spent about 5 hours walking all over campus and were very tired by the end, but it was so fun. We needed some girl time. And not all of it was scheduled. We also spent some time exploring some of the other stuff on campus like the eggheads, fountains and bike racks. I can't wait to do it again next year!
