On Tuesday Tadhg and dad visited the St Catharines Museum to learn about their new home town. The museum was especially interesting for Tadhg as it had a special toy exhibit on showing toys from all over the world. Tadhg enjoyed the marble maze.
He also had great fun searching through the mystery toy area trying to identify the hidden toys in the colourful boxes.
The museum also doubles as the Lacrosse hall of fame where Tadhg and dad learned all about the game from it's origins as a native Canadian sport to the present day. Tadhg was able to practice his lacrosse skills in the indoor play area.
Then it was on to the pioneer life section where Tadhg and dad learned how the first pioneers to Canada lived. Tadhg enjoyed wearing a pioneer hat and playing pioneer games.
The final section of the museum is dedicated to the famous Welland canal which connects the great lakes and traverses the Niagara escarpment. Tadhg had great fun being captain and navigator on a 'laker' boat while dad learned how the original canal was built by mainly Irish workers. It was a great day out and Tadhg and dad left with an added appreciation for their new home.
