Today we took Kenny to the Royal Ontario Musuem. He *loved* it.
First up, of course, were the dinosaurs. We'd given him his dinosaur book before we went, and he was pretty keyed up (though a bit anxious, having seen the Jurassic Park movies). I'm not sure that he knew what to expect. Live dinosaurs, perhaps?
After the dinosaurs, we looked at a display on existing and extinct animals. Then, happily, it was time see a real live animal exhibit. We say a lemur, a type of jumping African cat that eats birds, a kestrel, an owl, and an American bald eagle. Kenny was so delighted he even clapped his hands.
When Mari later asked him which he liked best, he said:
