Volcano pics

Last week I mentioned that Steph and the boys constructed and detonated a home-made Volcano contraption. "Detonate" is a little strong - it was a far less dramatic experience than the one put on by Peter in the Brady Bunch. Nevertheless, it was a noteworthy achievement for the Burnstein boys. The following are some pictures, from beginning to end. My favorite part is the safety goggles. Volcano making, after all, is serious business.

and the finale...FIRE IN THE HOLE!



Dedication: To Steph, who has the patience to make it happen.
