So when we went inside, the first thing they had that we could do was to make a design of a glass thing. Kids could make a design and then the glass making guys would choose one picture and you could take your creation home. So we did that.
My sister Heather likes shows and sitting in places for long periods of time. I don't. So Heather wanted to go to like seven shows in one day. Thankfully we only went to three. The first one was a glass breaking demo. That was probably the coolest one. So the guy doing the demo (Adam) had three types of glass: Plate glass, Laminated glass, and tempered glass. He also had this machine that showed stress. Plate glass and laminated glass have no stress because they are cooled gradually, and tempered glass has organized stress, because it is cooled super-fast. Pretty cool! And Jackson got to help smash the glass so that was cool.
So remeber those drawings we made in the beginning. Well the glass making guys decided to make Jackson's! So Wednesday, when we go to pick it up, Jackson will have a green turtle in his room! Very cool to watch! 
So after that, we went and looked at all the glass art. Who would have thought that you could make so much from glass? 
This was my favorite piece. So cool yet so wierd. Kinda like me! It is called, "It's Raining Knives".
Cool chess set!
So that is pretty much what happened today! Hope you like the pics!
