On Sunday we visited the Waterloo Region Museum. My mom bought us a membership that gets us into several buildings close to us (thanks Mom!) so we decided to start checking them out. There is currently a "Shipwrecked" exhibit on so I hoped that the boys attention would be grabbed by that too.
We got a later start to the day and were out during Norah's typical nap time so it was a bit of a gamble but she was happy to wander about, we didn't even take the stroller in.
 |
| We went out for lunch first. Jacob wanted a picture of him in his vest. (Thanks for the vest, Heidi!) |
 |
| At the museum, part of the floor hard railroad tracks that you could see underneath. Norah was totally freaked out. She kept getting down, trying to climb off and if you set her on her feet, she was very unsteady. When we were leaving, she took care to walk AROUND this part of the floor so she didn't have to go on it. |
 |
| Now that Logan can read, he wants to take his time and take everything in. It's a good change! |
 |
| Seeing what's up ahead! |
 |
| I have no idea what they saw through them... |
 |
| Norah, just wandering. |
 |
| They got to "build their own pirate". |
 |
| Jacob too. |
 |
| Trying to tie knots. |
 |
| In some sort of wind tunnel. I think it was showing what it would be like to be out steering a ship in high winds. It went up to 78mph. |
 |
| Trying to get in. |
 |
| Norah got a turn too. |
 |
| Steering the ship. |
 |
| They were watching a screen and turning the wheel back and forth to go straight. |
 |
| She was all over the place. |
 |
| Checking out some pirate swords. |
 |
| When the lady handed them the guns so I could take a picture, they both put them up to their eye...they thought they were telescopes. They don't have much exposure to guns... |

A great bunch of pictures - I felt like I was there with you! I know about those tracks - I think Norah's reaction to them is hilarious and very interesting too.
They could see pirate ships through the telescopes :)
