the science centre was the perfect rainy day activity. it featured a circus exhibit where we could learn how contortionists fit into tiny spaces, how hard it is to walk on a wire, and the science and math behind juggling. the sports exhibit was a hit too, especially since the boys got the chance to race an olympian and a cheetah!
niagara falls was spectacular. the immediate surrounding area was essentially a theme park - every block had a haunted house or two, fast food restaurants, and kitchy souvenir shops. we had fun nevertheless, playing in the arcade, ate pizza and ice cream, and enjoyed time at a water park (with a wave pool!). i took the boys on a walk behind the falls - it was quite an adventure to be up close to the falls and very wet!
at home we enjoyed the neighbourhood pool, making tiramisu, and i probably ate double my body weight in tomatoes! seriously. it was all good though. kai had tons of fun with my brothers - chasing each other with water guns, playing soccer, and running about the playground. i was also able to visit with a couple of good friends, brunching and shopping.
