Did we miss the baby as he went backwards in time to be born March of 2012? See, we do read your blog, ;) Beautiful pictures of all your family-they are all growing up so fast! And I am amazed at the cleanliness of the train station at the museum and that there are actual trains to play with! Are Canadian children just cleaner, nicer and play more gently with public interactive activities?
(See second part of comment for explanation.)
Part two of comment and (spoiler alert!) part rant.
We've gone to the Children's Discovery museum at the Gateway here in Salt Lake several times and it's always dirty, crowded and 3/4 of the displays are not usable because they've: a)been abused to the point of breaking, b)have obvious sticky food/other foreign material on them, c) empty of whatever material they were suppose to contain whether it be pictures, magnets, crayons, paper, whatever, or d) the parts to use in the experiment are missing such as the sound effects which had two items left to make sounds on the wooden board as opposed to the two dozen items which were suppose to be present. Multiply that by the entire museum and a price tag of $8.50 a person = an unique experience in at least mild disappointment.
Positive note? The children's section at the church history museum is always: a)clean, b)usually crowded, c)well-maintained and stocked with activity centers being repaired as needed such as phones being reattached and dress-up clothes are cleaned frequently.
Good eye - apparently, 2013 seems eons away. William and Caroline were both born in the same year that they were conceived. We are happily more than halfway now!
The train museum was in Sacramento California. We were likewise amazed at how well-maintained it was. William did not move for 45+ minutes and would have continued there content for the entire afternoon had we not suggested our pesky mortal need to eat ;-).
