Chronicles of Narina

So our latest escapades took us to see the Chronicles of Narina exhibit at the Telus World of Science(TWOS) (of all places). They tied in the themes of global warming; which is associated with the "white witch".
Any ways the exhibit was interesting. We read the entire series with Megan as her reading time with mom or dad before bed. She really loved the series and so did we. We are slowly making our way through the movies that have been done about it as well.

There were pieces of C.S. lewis' things and different props from the different movies. There was even a craft of making your own shield to take home. The boys were far to into the hands- on catapult to be bothered much with a craft.

We enjoyed this on a teachers convention day so Megan had no school. We've been to the TWOS a couple of times as a family and it is quite pricey for the whole family to go. I also happened to see that there were a few more exhibits that I know my kids would enjoy so I ended up buying a family pass. (Thanks Jen for the coupon book for my b-day; cause there was a coupon for 10% off an annual admission).
Megan and Evan love to go to the demonstration area and learn how "pop" is made. Megan got selected to go up on stage to give the finally product a try, to see if they followed the recipe right. Yup, they did. Everyone is allowed to try the results. This time they tried peach, lime and orange flavored pop. They both gave it two thumbs up!
We also spent some time in the kids area, building with big blocks, standing in front of the funny mirrors, dancing on a big piano, and playing at water tables. We also managed to fit in a star show that they kids enjoyed. It sure was a busy day.
