Since Jim is on holidays this week we planned a day where we could get out of the house as a family.
We decided to go the Ontario Science Centre, partially because some supplies were needed from IKEA. (besides the fact that browsing there inspires ideas).
Anyways, we got there somewhat later than we anticipated due to having to help out a sick friend with groceries, but we got there and we had a good time. But it matters not since we have a free pass to get into the Science Centre. :)
First we browsed the "beyond earth" exhibit.
We weren't allowed to take flash photography or movies inside this exhibit. The lad had fun trying different ways to stop a meteorite from hitting earth and once we were home he's been adding that idea to his games. :) It was an interesting exhibit, it was good to see what people are hoping to do. I found the idea of a space elevator quite fascinating and it makes me wonder just how they will manage to do it. Certainly caused the lad to ask lots of questions.

We took a brief walk through the rainforest section. Not too long since we didn't have a lot of time and the lad REALLY wanted to go to the KIDSPARK area and just play. Needless though, I enjoyed seeing some of the animals they have on display, answering the lad's queries, and walking through the simulated rainforest. The poison dart frogs are always interesting to see. It amazes me sometimes how God has designed things in this world of ours.
BUT...on to the play area. :)

Overall it was a very good day. Hubby got overtired with his back so was a basket case on Friday. I am hopeful that today (Saturday) he will be in better shape.
