Ontario Science Center....

For labour day we decided to go somewhere we'd never been before...the Ontario Science Center. They have a massive kid area for children under 8. There were water play stations, a pretend grocery store, build your own roller coaster, musical instruments, etc. We don't have many pictures as we had to carry Rose around quite a bit, and hold Paige's hand at all times since it was super busy. Paige actually had quite a scare when a large group of people came inbetween her and us and she couldn't see us. She started yelling Daddy!! and crying.


I had to post this next picture as when we went into the kid area, they asked us to leave the stroller at the front...it was soooo busy and they couldn't have had 60 strollers in there. I had Rose in the Bjorn anyway, but as we were leaving the stroller behind we needed to carry around my purse as well...and guess who was carrying my super heavy gold Coach bag...obviously me. So I had my arms full, needless to say.

After the kid area, we had some lunch at the cafe, and looked at a small fraction of the rest of the place. It was huge and too much for us to see in one visit. And not all would be very exciting for Paige. She really liked jumping on some motion sensored fish holograms on the ground. And there was some sort of cave thing that she went through with Mike. She said that was one of her favourite things. Also, as I was off in the parents room with Rose, Mike and Paige watched a presentation with a live bald eagle. Apparently she got to see it close up.

I really have to be more diligent and bring her a lunch to these things. She doesn't like burgers, fries, chicken fingers, or any sandwiches besides peanut butter....so that basically cuts out all cafeteria food. She had a couple of bites each of a banana and an apple, and maybe 2 bites of a chicken finger. I should have brought our own fruit, and some yougurt at least.

The funniest part of the day was when we were looking at a skeleton puzzle. It was laid out on a table and you were supposed to put the bones in the right spot. As soon as we walked up to it Paige chuckled, grabbed the Tibia bone and smashed the skull with it! REALLY don't know where that came from, or what she thought it was. I think she thought the bone was a bat and the skull was a funny shaped ball!? Odd, and very amusing.
