“We spend the first year of a child's life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down. There's something wrong there.” Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson is someone I admire a lot. In his talk on how science could be taught better in the U.S. NDT rightly states that we should never stifle our kid's curiosity whatever the case (unless it's dangerous) for kids are curious and are willing to learn. If we don't kill their curiosity they will go on wanting to learning about life and science. One of the tricks he says to do is to leave a pair of binoculars on the table and by nature they will want to play with it. It's true Mathieu did. Don't stop them. Tonight I took those binoculars and looked at the crescent moon. It was just wow! I could see craters and mountains. We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful universe.

We got season's passes to La Ronde. We'll come into our money by just going there twice this summer. Since the parking is included we'll even be able to go see fireworks so it's a great deal. At the park the girls went on their way, and Mathieu and I had our own fun. Here are a few pics.
