We celebrated my birthday in "style" this weekend. Starting on Saturday with a shopping spree (new maternity clothes), dinner at Milestones with friends (thanks Kara, Owen, Ethan, Anaka, and Kalen for helping make my birthday special), and coffee and Wii bowling back at our place. On Sunday, we spent the day as a family at Science World in Vancouver. We had a great time together while taking in some Science shows including one on Bubbles and one on Toys. We were so proud of how well Ethan sat and listened, raising his hand at all the right times (it doesn't take much to make a teacher smile). Ethan actually volunteered during the Toys show to help the presenter with an airplane demonstration. He walked confidently up on stage when invited and did just what the presenter asked (preschool is working wonders in the confidence arena).
After the shows we toured the feature exhibit titled the "Geee! in Genome" where we tried to share with Ethan the "facts of life," censored at a 4 year old level of course, but he was more interested in making a DNA bracelet (another time maybe).
Eureka; with it's many interactive exhibits, including the ball launcher, foot piano, dam builder, laser harp, and pulley lifter; was definitely the highlight.
Ethan also enjoyed the search exhibit with it's T. rex skeleton, giant 800-year-old Western Red Cedar, real beaver lodge, and bee hives. We made some great memories together and ended the day with dinner at Montana's.
Thank you to all of you who took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday. I was overwhelmed by your love and thoughtfulness! :)
