a ROM adventure






After enjoying a nice cold milk shake at Mr. Greenjeans and a subway ride we headed to the Royal Ontario Museum for their Friday Free night. We headed straight for the Egyptian section, a good portion of this year has been spent exploring this time period motivated by the kids fascination. They were excited to point out different gods, know some of the hierogylphic symbols, see an actual mummy, differeniate the four canopic jars and play dead inside a sarccophagus. After the tour of Ancient Eygpt we moved onto the hands on section, which has expanded since our last visit. The kids tried excavated bones, worked through puzzles, dressed in costumes, looked at mossy toads, and touched everything!
