The Big City - Part Two

After our first day in Toronto we were pretty worn out.  We hit the pool and Lucas went down the water slide for an hour.  It is a very cool one that goes outside the hotel on your way down the twists and turns.  We grabbed a pizza for dinner and chilled in our room.  We were going to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) on our second day so we didn't want Lucas too tired before we even got there.

We had tickets for the Terracotta Soldiers exhibit and Lucas was very excited.  He plays a computer game called Civilization that Jason got him addicted to  introduced him to about a month ago.  Jason has been playing this game for years and years, so it wasn't a huge surprise when Lucas wanted to try it out.  The game has alot of ancient Chinese emperors and cities so Lucas thought it was cool to be seeing the Terracotta Soldiers.  He was tired by the end of it but he did enjoy it very much, as did we. 

I couldn't take pictures in the Terracotta Soldiers exhibit so this is the best I could do lol....

  Lucas got all his energy back after lunch so we spent quite a bit of time checking out the permanent exhibits of the Chinese and Japanese collection.  Then we found the Natural History floor and spent a long time there.

I had to take pictures of the butterflies.  Butterflies always remind me of Sophie and all these ones were beautiful.

The poor Dodo...

Lucas taking on a raccoon and a beaver...I think they actually look a little terrified.

Being devoured by a walrus...you never know, it could happen to you ;)

We had alot of fun but we were happy to be heading home.  We missed Sophie and we were all looking forward to sleeping in our own beds with our very own comfy pillows.
