day trip
On Friday, a friend asked what we were up to for the weekend. I thought "Absolutely Nothing". My wheels started turning as I thought about what we could do on Saturday. Of course there are always things to do around the house, but I kept thinking "It is time for a daytrip!" We've never taken all the kids to the Science Centre and I thought this would be a perfect way to spend the day. My kids were super excited to head to Toronto.
Before going to the kids area, we went looking for the rainforest exhibit. We came across these cars. Our kids practiced their reaction time. I love how Jesse makes this work, despite his short legs. This was Nathaniel's favorite thing about the day.
We explored the science arcade. Andrew had fun with the mirrors. Jesse's little head tilt is so sweet.
A presentation began, so we sat down to learn all about electricity.
Did anyone guess where we were from my picture on Saturday? Abigail was interested in having her hair stand up on end, but started getting apprehensive once we got up on stage. She conquered her fear and even went up a second time.
We finally found the rainforest area. The warm, humid temperature was so nice.
Diaper change time. Yes, we could have gone into the washroom, but this is so much more convenient.
Nathaniel and Abigail participated in some paper making while the diaper change was underway.
Everyone got a chance to participate.
The kids area was a real winner. Most kids are drawn to the pin wall. Here's Abigail's body.
We ventured into the market area. Jesse got right down to business filling his basket with healthy, nutritious foods. That's my boy. Abigail took charge as the cashier. Nathaniel didn't quite find his groove and helped with restocking the shelves. This was Abigail's favorite spot. She was here for close to 45 minutes.
The boys discovered the building area. I loved watching them get comfortable, then get right into the thick of the action. There were pieces of foam that you could use to build the roof, walls, columns. Here Jesse is using the conveyer belt to lift pieces up to the second floor. This is where the boys hung out while Abigail worked at her skills in retail.
As we attempted to leave, our kids were drawn to the music room. With lights, music and pretend instruments, our kids were hooked. There were even screens to watch your performance. Jesse chose this activity as his favorite. I love a good day trip!
