Toronto III and IV, August 2009

Yesterday Allan and I took Colleen to the Ontario Science Center after lunch that included sinigang and pad thai and chicken curry. We had fun on the way to KidsPark: seeing the green forest, looking and touching the minerals and rocks, riding the escalators, and coloring outside (and receiving free milk). It was a feat

to turn away from KidsPark...

to the artist's billiard ball contraption. We visited D level, then the mezzanine/Eagle's eye view and the Human Body on E level.

In the end, we returned to KidsPark and the artist's kinetic sculpture,

and visited the Space section before leaving about four hours after arriving.

Colleen had a grand time, and wants to return.

We had Greek food at Allan's home for dinner.

Today, the Lolos and Lolas drove Colleen and I to downtown Toronto, where we

drove through Chinatown,

parked, and walked through the mall with Sears.

We then attended the anticipated Mass for Sunday at St. Michael's Cathedral. We sat right by the candles for St. Jude.

We visited two Chinese bakeries for snacks before continuing on to dinner.
Dinner was with Allan, Sonia, Samantha, and Matthew; Christie and Petrie and Colleen, and the two Lolos, two Lolas, and me. We truly enjoyed the Korean barbeque-it-yourself at our tables. Colleen entertained us with songs and fingerplays; she in turn was entertained by Sam's I-pod.
