I'm in Canada! Part Two.

Hi! Well I am once again, going to post about Canada. On a random fact, did you know that it is J.R.R. Tolkien week? Well it is, Mr. Frodo. Anyway let me post.

Two days ago, We went to the Canadian Museum of Civilization. It is a really cool museum. We saw a the Imax movie, Hubble 3-D. Yes an Imax in 3-D. It was kind of redundant, but cool. When they zoomed out to the scale where the galaxies were dots, the 3-D effect was great! Right before the movie, we went to the totem pole exhibit. It  was really nice, and I did not know that the poles were so high! The tallest were probably 20 meters tall, and 4 meters around! When you think about how each pole was carved from a single tree, that makes it much  more spectacular. Then after the movie we went to the children's museum. It was designed for people Lydia and Nolan's age but I had a lot of fun. Lydia made me put on a play with her at the theater thing about a war between Night, and Winter on one side, and Summer and Day on the other. It was a lot fun whacking Lydia with my wooden Sun mask. Yeah we got photos of  it.


Yesterday, we went to The Montebello. For those who don't know, The  Montebello is this huge hotel/resort/go play something/thingamabob where you  hang out and do stuff. It is about halfway between Ottawa and Montreal. The main building is the largest thing made out of logs in Canada. It has a six sided fireplace, and is right on the Ottawa river. The hotel owns 65,000 acre plot of land for this park. They have lots of activities like kayaking (which was my first choice of action) ATVing, skeet shooting, and horse riding. If you know my family, you will guess that Lydia wanted to ride the horseys, and so, of course we did. I would not have ridden, but Mamaw made me. So, I went, and I got the most boring horse. The one that did not do what you told it, but stayed right behind the one in front. Also The Montebello, has this great  Buffet that has everything. Even Coffee Cheese Cake!!


Today we went to The Science and Technology Museum. This is my favorite thing we have done so far this week. When we left for lunch I didn't want to leave. However once we got to lunch I then marveled everyone else, by drinking 7 glasses of water and still eating the four plates of food. At the museum we saw stuff on trains, cars, space, nuke reactors, light, Canadian inventions, computers, and, more. The thing we spent a lot of time at was a ski-mobile simulator. It took you through a track, while bumping and tilting you. We also went to journey to mars simulator. You went on movie theater seats, then the movie starts and the seats tilt 45 degrees. also as your ship moves, the whole theater moves.There also was a electricity demonstration. First she put a metal sheet on a glass sheet then put more metal on the other side. The first sheet was then hooked  up to the current. The juice, shot up the first sheet then retracted with the air to make mini lightning bolts that aced over the glass onto the next. There also was a static generator, copper melter, and electromagnet.


That was all of the things we did this week. I will post best of pictures, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.
