Another Sleepover at the Science Centre

We were fortunate to take part in another sleepover at the Ontario Science Centre. This time Andrew, Dylan and I went with our neighbours Steve and his son Toby.

We started the evening with a dinner at a teppanyaki table in a Japanese restaurant. We watched our table chef create beautiful fiery volcanoes out of sliced onions and juggle his knives just a few inches away from our faces.

Later that night at the museum we were given the opportunity of dissecting an Owl "pellet". We learned that an owl has two stomaches...one to absorb the nutrients of the animal they have just ingested WHOLE and one to compact the creature's parts which are not candidates for absorption (i.e. the bony carcass). We dissected a beaked bird's skull and carcass from our pellet.

We made the mandatory slime....

And then we meandered around the many exhibits.

"Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well..."

"I know there is another kidney in here somewhere!!!"

Having another bad hair day!

After midnight it was "lights out" and we all bedded down on our sleeping bags dreaming of exhibits that come to life and dance around our heads.
