Centre des Sciences de Montreal

We have a membership to the Ontario Science Centre here in Toronto which my kids all love.  And as a bonus the membership is good at 300 other science centres across North America including the one in Montreal.


While there we had fun experimenting with...

bubbles

weights

"you want me to lift how much weight?"

balance

sound

this was pretty cool...the girls were standing at one end with me while Kyle was down at the far end (can you see him waaaay down there?)...they were speaking to each other in normal voice and could clearly hear each other!

mirrors

light and colour

generating electricity with water

Vieux Montreal

After leaving the science centre I thought it would be nice to take a walk around Old Montreal since we were downtown already.  We got as far as across the street and stayed only long enough to take this picture.  Immediately afterwards the whining started.  I decided it just wouldn't be enjoyable pushing 2 kids in the stroller and listening to the older 2 whine.  Note to self, next time I'm in Montreal take a trip downtown all by myself to actually enjoy walking around the old part of the city.
