A Natural Celebration

It’s Margot’s 8-month birthday! To celebrate we took her to the Canadian Museum of Nature, which is located in downtown Ottawa.

The museum is designed for children and has lots of interactive exhibits. However, the young and curious at heart can also find lots of interesting things to do and read about. My favourite area is the water and ocean exhibit, which has fish tanks containing local species of fish swimming about.

 Jen’s favourite area is the bird exhibit because she “likes the presentation”.

Margot’s favourite area is the mammal exhibit as it allows her to test her mettle facing down dangerous beasts.

Interesting fact: after Canada’s Parliament building burned down in 1916 the museum building housed Canada’s legislature for four years. Only in Canada!
