Subzero Ice Cream

Subzero Ice Cream is one of the coolest ice cream places around.  It's not very often that you get to see Liquid Nitrogen freeze a few tasty ingredients into ice cream right before your eyes.  Austin's preschool class took a field trip to this fun ice cream store and got a really cool science demonstration too.


Liquid Nitrogen is so cold that it began to boil once the bowl was set on the warm table.
 He blew up a balloon and when it was placed in the nitrogen, it slowly deflated...
 cool...
 
The kids were wide eyed and there were lots of oohs and ahhs when the balloon was pulled out and got big again. 
This picture doesn't do justice, but it was really cool when he dumped liquid nitrogen onto the floor and ice crystals skated across the floor towards the children. 
 
 
 The best part was when they got to see their ice cream made fresh, oh that liquid nitrogen is pretty cool.
 And the ice cream was delicious!

We didn't plan this, but it sure was funny to show up and see Austin and his favorite friend Cade wearing the exact same outfit!!
 
Austin and his super cool, very sweet, loving and wonderful preschool teacher Miss Cindy.  We all just adore her.
