We cleared out of our hotel early-ish this morning. First, we hit the St. Lawrence market for picnic fixins for lunch later and then we headed to the Ontario Science Center. The museum was quite spread out and most of it was geared for older kids. We still found several exhibits to enjoy and spent most of the day there.
Rudy, trying to match the facial expressions:
Han Solo impressions:
Playing at the water table. We tried to teach them about locks, since we'd see some on the drive later. I'm not sure it stuck...
Brady driving a space vehicle:
Steel drum band:
They had an entire section devoted to making shoes. There was a wide variety of materials: scissors, fabric, foam, cardboard, hot glue guns, etc. These are the boys' creations...
In the tradition of our confused Toronto adventure, the tour book had indicated that the museum was on the way out of town toward Niagara when, in fact, it was completely the opposite direction. That might have been fine, except it put us right in the middle of Toronto rush hour. I thought this sign was an amusing [more polite?] merge request:
It seems that on every trip, there is always one location or day where things just don't click. Apparently, Toronto was that place for us this time. Between the nearly useless tour book pointing us in the wrong direction or toward over-rated attractions and my hotel flub, things didn't work out exactly as planned. Even so, we managed to have a good time and I don't think the kids noticed anything!
