Though we who were just old enough at the time to enjoy the "Funtier World" playground went on to eventually outgrow it, we thought it was a bummer for subsequent generations of children that they missed out on that, though being cat enthusiasts, we never outgrew the need for a central location for cat shows, kind of like the Stampede Grounds was. As for the Body Works or Body Worlds exhibit is concerned, I had went at least one time when it was in Edmonton and three times when it was in Calgary and I would sooner pay at least $25 for a BODY WORLDS admission than anything like $80 or $100 or even $300 for a rediculously overpriced hockey or rock concert ticket, since BODY WORLDS is a rather cool exhibit that enabled you to find out anatomy and you could also buy yourself a catalog or some post cards afterwards to relive your time at the exhibit by.

Amazing what kids will do of their own accord if you just provide them with the materials. There is only one force in the universe that is powerful enough to prevent children from learning on their own... and ironically it is our education system... :^) That’s a great craft!

The pools especially look marvelous and how lucky to be able to find vegan food in a real restaurant. A small town prairie girl like me can only dream of that! Oh how fun!
