When we first arrived, one of the staff was giving a talk and demonstration about solids, liquids and gasses. It involved balloon animals and liquid nitrogen and culminated in the creation of double choc chip ice cream. (That liquid nitrogen is handy stuff :-)
Off we went to explore. Our first stop was in the environment and energy section.
Here's Cayde donating some of his excess energy to the little train set. (Pedalling the bike makes the train go round the track).
Cayde and Addie utilise their green-screen meteorological skills as they read the weather report.
There was a big Lego exhibition at the museum while we were there.
The Legislature building (a prominent Edmonton landmark).
The Sphinx guarding the entrance to the exhibition.
I'm just amazed at how detailed some of the Lego pieces can be these days. Here is a Lego artist's representation of Cayde. Notice the complete lack of lines, steps or bumps on his face. Just incredible.
Not only are the pieces detailed, but the artists are quick.
It took them no time at all to put together a model of Addie.
It's a shame they couldn't get the Lego to look a bit happier - oh well.
Here's one of the artists from the Northern Alberta Lego Users Group (NALUG) busily building a pyramid.
King Tut's Mask
Ancient Egyptian ski boat.
Ancient Egyptian gymnasium.
Enough Lego, time for some gross bodily functions.
Optical illusions being tested by Cayde.
If you see a bunny
And its nose is runny
Do not think it's funny
'Cos it's not
(Say it fast - it makes sense with the pictures below).
We had a couple of minutes for a quick dose of personal electric transportation before it was time to go.
