Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear?

There was no school last Friday so I took the day off from work and we went to the EcoTarium in Worcester.  It was a very neat children's science museum with a lot of different things to do, including interactive areas as well as learning areas.  Lee and I enjoyed it as much as the girls and we are thinking about going back when the weather is nicer, because there are a lot of nature trails and other outdoor activities.  We stayed in almost the entire, although when we were leaving, we just had to check out Kenda, the resident polar bear.  The windchills were more than 10 degrees below zero so even though we were only outside for about ten minutes, it took us a while to recover (I seriously thought that might have lost a finger to frostbite!).  We warmed up by the fire at a local restaurant and then headed home.  The girls promptly fell asleep in the car - an increasing rarity - a sure sign of how much fun they had.
