Field Trips...

This year is becoming the year for field trips for us! Recieving a membership at the Science Center in a neighbouring large city as a Christmas gift from my parents, has really given us the chance to enjoy our time there with no feelings of being rushed.
Our second visit was shared with friends and we got the unique opportunity to enjoy a special display titled Body worlds. No cameras allowed of course, but it was truly fascinating. The display was set up using cadavers preserved through plastination and positioned in active poses, as well as displays showing both healthy and unhealthy body organs and systems. Some of our favourite aspects were the smoker's lung, the bear, and the room dedicated to the in-utero stages. Even though at first, it was a lot for the girls to take in, I am so glad they had the chance to experience the human body in such a visual way! We even got to hold a liver, heart and kidney!

The rest of our day was spent enjoying the kid's area, exploring the tornado, bat cave and the soundproof room and much much more.

And even though our day ended with a stressful 4 hour drive home through a snowstorm with a break at Ikea for dinner after a 2 hour (normally 15 min) intense 6 blocks, we had a wonderful day!
