The summer holiday that never ends .. hahaha prt 3
Well, I told the boys that we would go to Science North one say this week since it has been awhile since we were last there. Although I was waiting for a rainy day that just didn’t seem to come, so on Thursday we just went, originally I was hoping to go with just the boys and I got the impression my Mom was going to keep the twins but when it came to go she was planning a quiet day by herself so I didn’t argue. On the way to Sudbury I tried to call my Dad to see if he would join me since i wasn’t really looking forward to jungling 4 kids wanting to see different things. Sadly my Dad had forgotten that he had plans and was gone, he said he would have come other wise.
Science North was nice but I don’t recommend 1 adult for 4 kids with such an age gap. We say lots of kewl things, it started with a quick stop at the toddler play area and then off to see some cool insects. Josh held a hissing coackroachand petted a spider. We got some nice pictures of butterflies but Braydon was terrified that one would land on him so we had to leave that area quickly the twins thought they were cool. Then we were off to the science area where you used the microscopes and checked various things from insects to trees to rocks close up. They even had one for little ones that projected the image on a TV screen for them instead.
Next level I believe was the body and lego areas. The boys had fun pushing buttons to make a picture of a man make different body noises ie, farts, burps, sneezes all the fun stuff, farts being the most popular. The lego section was great but it was one of those spots that 2 adults would have been nice. The twins played in a kid area with lego trains and tracks and a load of other pins of lego. The older boys wanted to builder racers and race them but I couldn’t seat with them and build since I had to watch the twins so they were sort of stuck, I felt bad for them. There was also a space section which we looked at briefly before we headed back down.
As we left I had told the boys we would check out the H2O section, it was by the main exit, so we went in there and the twins watched a cute movie while the boys went and checked out all the neat gadgets they had to show how water moved and what you can do with water. We left there for a grocery store and another quick stop at my Dad’s (he still wasn’t home) and then back to the cottage.
The last full day at the cottage was spent relaxing at the beach and slowly packing up. The boys went to a camp fire by the trailers there with my Mom while I stayed at the cottage to listen for the twins and pack up as much as I could. The next morning I packed up the van and headed on our way. We had a quick stop in Narin (our home town) to visit my grandmother’s grave and do a little tour of the old Hwy to enjoy a few memories along the way.

It was a nice drive home and a great relaxing week…. I have already booked a week for next year… Maybe D’Arcy can join us next time though.
