On Monday we headed to the Redpath Museum in Montreal for a workshop on meteorites…
Last time we were at the Redpath Xavier started getting sick on the way there and we ended up spending a lot of time in the bathroom… This time we got there early and were able to spend some time looking around… what a great museum. If you are in Montreal, it is a great place to stop by and check out 🙂
We went and looked at the mummies again and then some other curious and interesting artifacts…
Skeletons… Samurai armour… shrunken head… so many questions…
then of course the the dinosaur skeletons were a big hit… The boys were amazed at the size of them…
This is Gorgosaurus libratus a genus of T-Rex that lived in Western Canada at one time…
I forgot the name of this guy… but I stood next to him fascinated for quite a while…
The Triceratops skull was massive… It is hard to imagine that they were Herbivores…
Then we met up with the other homeschoolers that were there and the workshop started…
The format of the Workshops given at the Redpath are great. The kids have a short information session… not more than 30 min in all and not all at the same place, so there are moving around  bit… Then a craft session to finish things up…
