Out on the Town!!!!

This last week Britlynn had off from school, so we tried to get out and do a few fun things!! We went to the playground a few times, practised riding bikes, went to Ikea so the kids could go to the play center, went to the library, and the most eventful thing was a trip to the science center!!!

We had a great time exploring all the fun stuff they have to see there!!! We went with a friend and her two kids, so it was nice for the kids to have someone else to play with!!! There is an area called Wow town which the kids spent most of their time. You can go shopping in the little store, or play in the water feature, or work at the brick factory, or do crafts, or listen to different sound, or play on the playground. It had lots of things to try, and the kids didn't stay in one spot for too long!!! Steele and Cohen of course gravitated to the water!!! It is a fun area, even I had to try a few things out!!! Here are a few pictures of the kids playing around!!!!


Cohen laying on a bed of nails!!! Britlynn wouldn't dare try this, I don't know why not???!!!

Steele playing with the huge ant, that would probably bit his head off if they were really that size!!!

Britlynn showing off her awesome dance moves on the musical floor!!! All the little circles and squares on the floor played a different note, or instrument sound when you stepped on it!!!!


Cohen playing in the water. I'm just glad that they had the plastic covers to somewhat keep them sort of dry!!!!!

Britlynn, Cohen, and Zoe just chilling in this huge chair!!! A fun time was had by all at the science center, and I'm sure we will make a trip back there sometime soon!!!

Now to make the trip worth while to the science center, which is downtown, we also thought we would include a trip on the C-train to go visit Daddy at work, and go out for lunch!!! I was a little hesitant going on the train with three kids, but we all got on an off safely. I put Steele in the stroller, and made the other two keep a hold of the stroller, so we didn't have any strays!!! It was a little crazy trying to cross the busy streets, but the kids loved looking at all the tall towers!!! Cohen loved seeing the new tower being built right across from Dave's office. If I would have let him he could have spent all day watching the crane move things around and all the different machinery work!!!! It really is quite fascinating to watch them build a huge tower like that. The tower, which is called the bow, is already 32 floors high, and it is going to have 58 floors when they are done!!!! I wouldn't want to be the person doing the construction on that building. I hate heights!!!!! The bow will be the new tallest tower in western Canada , and should be done in 2012. It will be quite a sight!!!

Anyways, we had a great lunch with Dave and the kids really enjoyed the whole experience!!! Britlynn thought it was great to see Daddy twice in one day!!!!! I'm glad that we made the trip. It was nice for the kids to experience something different from our everyday routine!!!
