This afternoon we enjoyed a presentation by the Brott Music Festival.
Canada's first astronaut ;Marc Garneau, the only to have been in space three times joined the orchestra for a very interesting performance. Garneau shared his experience of being in space during his three trips and the music he listened to while in space. The result was very interesting. Space travel; something we are currently reading about is usually presented in very scientific and philosophical terms, to accompany the topic with beautiful classical music shed new light and emotions onto the idea (for me at least). It was a treat to be in a new theater and have Grampy accompany us.
The kids enjoyed sharing all the details (especially how one goes to the bathroom on the shuttle!), leading to pulling out the photo collection of space, the kit to create an eclipse, books and puzzles! I would say it was enjoyed by all.
