Well, it’s officially the first day of summer vacation. It’s too bad that the parents are working, but we’ve tried to find some fun and interesting things for Those Johnston Kids to do this summer.  First stop, the Ontario Science Centre. Science centres – which you may remember from the blog last summer – are a popular stop for us. So what could be more fun than an entire week at one?

Well, after a nice weekend of camping up at Cape Croker parkand a late arrival home, no one was all that excited to go Monday morning. It was too early. They were too tired. It was going to be too boring. So this is what they looked like on Day 1:

But, science will always win out! When I picked them up Monday, the first thing they said was not “Hi” or “We missed you”, but “We’re going back tomorrow!” And this is what they looked like on Day 2:

Maybe I can entice them to write their own posts, but here are few things they got to do this week:

• Learn about weather and make clouds!
• Grow geodes!
• Make a volcano!
• See an IMAX movie!
• Visit the exhibits before the Centre officially opens!
• Learn about circuits and make their own light-up greeting cards!

Best. Camp. Ever. (For now.)
