Best Day EVER!

So today we went to "Telus World of Science" - for all you old ladies and gentlemen out there it used to be called the Space & science center -- it was cool when I was little and it is still cool now.  Lots of fun times with the M&M's and their cousins!  And on a side note...it was the first "long trip" Big Mack made in his big boy "unders" - with no accidents!  My son is exceptional...it's no big deal :)

Yikes!  Monster!  Nope just me in the a.m on a Saturday...getting

ready to go to see THE COUSINS!

We were finally able to get on the road, just in time for us to arrive as the

cousins were headed into the IMAX theatre to watch a DINOSAUR movie

(too scary for us..AND we are perpetually late!), but the reason we were l

ate, you ask?  Well we were cruising down the highway  

watching "The Wiggles" - ugh - when I looked at Bob and we were like

"where the heck is this place?!?", so basically we loaded up our

children ready for a Schurman Family Day O' Fun...with

no concrete idea as to where we actually needed to be!

It is frightening to think that we are responsiple for these little people.

A few phone calls were made, a few missed exits, Bob and I

almost got divorced (just kidding)....and then we arrived at.....

TELUS WORLD OF SCIENCE!

Miss. Matea all "cleaned up" and playing

with some super big Lego

Alex, Matea, and Aunt Jen building a wall - I think Aunt Jen

liked it the best because she was actually on the

floor before Matea was!

Cousin Alex & Mack...they are 9 months apart.

Sometimes they like each other....and sometimes they

avoid each other....like for the entire first 2 years of their lives!

I think Alex is a little unsure of

Big Mack sometimes... he is an aggressive hugger.... and smoocher.

Matea and MORE lego

Matea and her cousin Corbyn (he LOVES her) and yes she is

putting that "swine flu" infested LEGO in her mouth-ew.

Water Table Fun Times!

Now this area smelled very "bleachy", so I was thinking

"Woo-hoo, they must have just cleaned in here..."

So when Matea was putting her little hands in the water, and then

putting them in her mouth, I discouraged her (of course)

but didn't have a heart attack....until my sister

informed me that the bleach was in the water, and I should

probably stop my daughter from injesting it!  Mother of the YEAR!

Big Mack rocking the water table

That kid was HILARIOUS!  He was

splashing and throwing the boats

around like a .....kid. It was so nice for Mackenzie

to find a partner in crime kindred spirit. 

 

That looks really high...no injuries though (another reason why

it was THE BEST DAY EVER)

Fun stuff for the Dad's--hey where are the little people?!?

Bob and Darcy

Giant magnifying glass

He didn't get it...he was too close to look giant!

Sleepy Matea...for like 5 minutes :)

Happy kiddies on the way home....okay that is a lie.  Big mack was good

Miss. Matea wanted to cry the whole time unless her

brother was holding her hand!  Poor guy!  He entertained her for like the

last 20km of the trip - what a good brother!

And..... what post wouldn't be complete without

a "quote-y" picture for my sister

she is so sappy and into that type of

thing -weird.

I am being sarcastic, of course :)
