Science Centre 2011: Trip 12

We tried out "The Amazing Aging Machine" at the Science Centre....

Science Centre Trip #12 with Lee and Erica

Nurse Erica and Tito Lee came for a visit...so the kiddios and I took them to the Science Center

Logan loves this thing that you send paper flying up...perhaps because of this experiment as an infant? LOL

Erica and Lee went to see the new CSI show, so I took the kids to "Kid Spark". As always the picnic snack was a highlight for Logan

Pretty busy for a Wednesday afternoon

In the rain forest

Science Centre Trip #11

Off to the Science Centre we went to beat the heat! Building a house with Daddy

Watching the boys play

Logan never gets tired of this store. Strangely he always buys all the meat and a lot of bread.

Testing out the ball ramp they built

Things ball gravity thingy is always really popular -I remember it from when I was in High School.

Kalia sat eating her cookie and watching it -definitely a lot more aware of her surrounds and very curious.

Giving money to United Way

Having a family picnic is always great fun for Logan. We love that we can bring our own food into the Science Centre -so many places don't let you do that.

THEMUSEUM in Kitchener

On our way to Grandma and Grandpa's we stopped at THEMUSEUM, which is a children museum in downtown Kitchener. We checked it out on a Monday morning. Despite having a summer camp going on, we found we had most of the exhibits to ourselves.

On the main floor, Logan really enjoyed these over sized blocks.

I found out my camera has a function that the only colour it will show is green and yellow. Weird. Maybe you can switch that colour up; time to actually read the manual.

Both Kali and Logan found the dimmed "tot spot" to be really cool. If we had more time I think we would have hung out in here longer.

Logan at the record store

Break-dancing, of course.

Water tables are always a hit with preschoolers

The special exhibit right now is "Grossology". And they aren't joking; it's very gross! It's all about poo, farts, slime....so Allan and Logan liked it.

Overall, this was enjoyable for a 6 month old and a three and half year old. We spent about an hour and half looking around. If we had more time we could have ended our visit with another half hour in the tot spot but we were getting close to lunch and nap time. The fourth floor had a special exhibit on horses and space that was a little too old for a preschooler so we just did a quick walk through. Logan's been calling it the "new Science Centre" and gives it two thumbs up. I'd return on a weekday, especially to spend more time in the tot spot.
