Today we went over to the Museum of Science and Industry. It was so packed with people that it was difficult to navigate the stroller through the crowds, but we had a fun time. We bought a membership, which allows us unlimited entry to the museum for us and one guest (come visit and you can come with us for free!), unlimited Omnimax tickets, free parking, and lots more! I have a feeling Jesse and I will be visiting the museum quite a lot in the winter months when we can't go outside but need to get out of our apartment building.
While James and Matt went to check out the submarine exhibit, I took Jesse to the Idea Factory, a place where young kids can run around (or crawl around) and do all kinds of fun things. There is an area perfect for Jesse's age. He loved crawling around all over the big mats and looking at himself in the mirrors. Unfortunately the fun had to stop a little early because we had a diaper situation to take care of and I had to track down the guys to get the diaper bag.
After spending some time at the Idea Factory, we all went to the Omnimax, which was featuring a film about the building of the first transcontinental railway through the Canadian Rockies. I was so impressed that Jesse made it nearly half an hour into the movie before he got fussy. He just laid in James' lap and watched; he was totally mesmerized by the scenery. I can't remember the last time he sat completely still for even just several minutes; this guy just loves to move, so it takes something pretty entertaining to get him to slow down.
Here are some pictures of Jesse having a blast in the Idea Factory.
Before leaving we also visited a seasonal exhibit which features Christmas trees from around the world. We knew Bulgaria was one of the countries so we had to find that one. This picture doesn't really do the tree any justice, but here it is anyway.
