Dynamic Earth AKA The Big Nickel

We went to the Dynamic Earth museum here in Sudbury.  It was really cool!  Mike grew up here and his dad worked for Inco so he was really excited to be back.

First thing we saw was the world's largest smokestack and the Big Nickel.

Next was a really neat tour of a mine.  It started with mining at the turn of the 20th century and went through today.  It was interesting and James really liked it.

After the mining tour we went to the rock lab.  It was really cool because they had all these different experiments for kids to try with the different rocks.  It was really hands on.

After we got done in the museum we took a walk on a trail that was behind the museum.  We found all sorts of cool rocks and some core samples.  By the end of the walk my backpack was a bit heavier.

After we left Dynamic Earth we went for a walk on the boardwalk.  It was so pretty and we hoped it would help get some of the energy out of James.

We all had a great day today!
