Science World

This weekend we explored Science World with the Rivard family...

First stop was the 'Grossology' exhibit where Melissa was a mini-contestant on body function game show. (Needless to say the odds were stacked against her as her fellow contestant had much more knowledge & experience in this field!)

Next she practiced for her career in medicine on a huge "Operation" game board. It was evident a little more practice was necessary. (Note she is pulling the patient's kidney out of its arm)

Then there was a showdown between Thomas' and Rivards on who could push over more pegs on this massive pegboard. (I think they should sell these things this size in the store... it would provide hours of entertainment!)

Then out of the blue Melissa broke out in dance on this dance floor.

One of the biggest hits of the day for the girls was the water tables throughout... they could have spent hours playing and getting wet!



And what trip to Science World would be complete without a picture of this electric arcing ball (unfortunately the flash removed the electricity).

Here Melissa is puzzled why she can't grab the apple which was an optical illusion.

Over lunch Celeste was hammin' it up... and was very proud to show the camera her "bo-bo" (Dora band-aid)

The girls feeling re-energized with some food in their bellies.

Thanks to the technology provided we were able to age enhance the girls from a photo... here is Celeste at 70 years of age.

And here are a series of pics of Melissa... the first one is her at age 7, the next of her at age 21, and the last is her at 70 years old!

In the bug section Melissa & I walked a few steps in the body of a crab & bee.

I must say we had a great time visiting Science World.... we'll certainly have to go back and finish it off one day soon, as there was much more to see than we could fit in our 4.5 hour visit. And a special thanks to the Rivard family for coming out to visit... we hope to see you guys again soon :)
