Saturday
On Saturday it was the annual potluck for our midwives. This is the second one that we have attended. We met up with Jenny (our midwife for Hadley), as well as our good friends Christine, Rob, and their two boys Matthew and Alexander.
There was a jumpy castle, fishing in a baby pool, colouring, and toys outside on mats for the kids to play with.
It was good fun.
After this we headed to the Ontario Science Centre where we took advantage of the free day for the 40th anniversary.
(Well, we had to pay $8 for parking but otherwise free).
It was good times but it was so busy so I am glad that we didn't pay to get in.
Regular price is $18 per adult, $11 for 3 and older, and free under 3.
Hadley thoroughly enjoyed the market where she got a small cart and was able to shop like an adult, and even check out her food at the cash. Each kid took their role either putting food away, shopping, and even cashiering.
She also really liked rolling the balls down tracks to see them roller coster around. We did see more, but those were the highlights for her for sure.
Maybe we will go back in a few years when we think she will get more out of it.
All in all, a good Saturday.
Comments
And the roller coaster balls were an energy demonstration. For example, there were to undulating tracks side by side. They both started at the same height. One track's humps all reach the same height, and so the ball could not reach the end of the track. The track right next to it had humps of decreasing height, and the ball passed over them with ease. This was also clearly lost on Hadley as she just liked watching the ball go on its own. I had a good time with the custom built tracks though.
A strange observation though. I know Toronto is very multicultural, but typically European descent people make up nearly half of most random groups. (street cars, restaurants, etc.) Not at the science centre. I'd be surprised if more than 5% were white. Not that I care, just an observation.
