Science North

Yesterday we continued our vacation by going to Science North.  It is a wonderful wonderful wonderful science museum.  Everything is hands on and great for kids.  James had a ball!

We started by learning about animal conservation.  It tied in with the Imax movie we saw on Monday called Born To Be Wild.  It was about how 2 women are helping orphaned elephants and orangatuans.





Then we went to the butterfly area.  James loves butterflies and they were really moving around when we were in there.  While we were there he got to feed the milipedes.







When they built Science North they discovered a fault line in Sudbury right where they were building the science center.  So they altered the design and made it part of the museum.




Then it was off to where the animals are.  They had some small animals that live in the Sudbury area.  We got to see beaver, skunk, snakes, frogs, and we even got to pet a flying squirrel and a porcupine.




We also got to see a rare spieces of moose.





There were all sorts of fun hands-on stuff that taught you about physics, your body, energy, computers, space, and so much more!










After the museum we went outside to burn off some energy before we saw a movie about the sun, moon and Earth.  We put James to work chasing sea gulls.  He did a good job too.





We had a good time yesterday.  We all came back to the hotel and crashed after dinner.  Today we are going hiking.  I can't wait because I LOVE hiking!!!!!!!  Only one more day here and we head back tomorrow.
