Dinosaurs at Science World

For those of you who don't know, Noah is all about Dinosaurs. He has numerous Dinosaur books, Dinosaur blankets, Dinosaurs, and even a Dinosaur room. Well, for the past few months at Science World they have had a Dinosaur exhibit featuring some real Dinosaur bones as well as a life size skeleton of a T-Rex. We were going to go before Christmas while we were in Vancouver at Childrens Hospital, but it was snowing so we came straight home. Well, the snow finally subsided enough for us to venture in last week and here are some pictures from our trip.

Here's Zay cranking the water to produce electricity to turn the lights on in the BC Hydro exhibit.

Both boys loved the water section where you could build dams to see how water flowed, etc, etc. There was also a cannon where you could shoot balls up into the top of this display to see how they float downriver. That was another favorite...boys and water.

Here's Noah standing on the side of one of the wind powered machines. What a dude!

Finally, some Dinosaur bones. Here's Noah standing in front of a life-sized T-Rex skeleton. Very cool!

Here are the three boys standing beside a life-sized Triceratops skeleton. We wanted to get a better picture but there was a news crew filming in front of it. Oh well.

This picture speaks for itself......what a Goomba!

Here's Noah checking out some fossilts with his magnifying glass and brush. He really liked this section of the display.

Finally, the masterpiece. Here are the boys in front of the life-sized T-Rex skeleton. It was so big, I couldn't fit the whole thing in the picture.

Here are the boys playing the piano....just like in the movie Big!

Here they are playing "Bop The Recyclables". Well, it was a great day and the family had fun!

Chilliwack Bruins Game

For Noah's birthday one of the gifts he received was 4 tickets to a Chilliwack Bruins game (courtesy of Uncle Kyle and Auntie Kim). Last year we had tickets but Isaiah was too young to go, but this year we figured he was ready. So, the four of us headed out in the snow (it wasn't snowing at the time) to go see the game. We had awesome seats. Here are the boys watching the game.

Last year when Noah went to the game he got a puck and a hat (which he is wearing on his head in the above picture). This year it was Zay's turn to get a hat. Here he is modelling it for everyone.

Since Noah had a hat he had requested a Bruins flag. This request was made weeks before going to the game...lucky for him they had some. He thoroughly enjoyed waving his Bruins flag throughout the game.

Now, to the real reasons we went to the game....to see the 'Boni's and the guy who makes all the noise. There were two Zambonis, Isaiah really liked the blue Zamboni....so much so that he now gets really upset when we watch hockey on TV and he doesn't see the 'Boni. There was also an ATV that came out which he really liked....mostly because it looked like Brampas. Noah also kept telling Isaiah about the guy with the big head who makes all the noise. Well, Isaiah spent most of the game watching for this guy. Lucky for him he came right up to Isaiah twice and both times gave him five. Well, that was our trip to the Bruins game. We had lots of fun. Thanks again Uncle Kyle and Auntie Kim.
