Has winter lost its teeth; Montreal Science Museum

Today Sabrina's class (Mr. Sylvain) and grade one French immersion (Mme Danielle, Sabrina's teacher last year) went to the Science Museum in Montreal. I went along to help out and took Mathieu with me (he skipped school) since we get in for free. It was snowing a bit (what we now call a """snow storm""") but Bertha the Ballerina (my Ford Escape) did not deceive and managed to increase the hate part of our love-hate relationship by being anywhere on the road except where she was supposed to be...

Nevertheless

We had a blast. The first thing we saw were the dinosaurs. A dozen or so robotic dinosaurs that move and growl like what we think they were a 100,000,000 years ago. Here are some pictures:

Dilophosaurus (190-200 million years ago)

Velociraptor (75 million years ago)

The velociraptor is the dinosaur Sabrina and Evelyne are doing a science paper on at school

T-Rex (65 million years ago)

Gigantoraptor (70 million years ago)

Mathieu and T-Rex

Afterwards it was time for an Imax presentation about two women who dedicated their lives to save baby elephants and ourang outangs.

Time for lunch...

Then it was time to go around the science centre exhibition. That was so fun...

It's definitely not like the Boston's Science Museum nor the Boston's Kids Museum, but they had a great time. So much that reading that night took a new level.

All in all it was a great day. Thank you St-Mary's for having us accompany the classes to the Museum.
