Montreal - Thursday

Thursday dawned very rainy, so we decided to hit all of the inside venues.
Our first stop was the Biodome de Montreal - a place we had been once before with Joe and Sam. It's a great place, but the only downside was that it was being visited by about 45,000 (at least it seemed like it) school camps. At times I would literally have to pull either Claire or Sydney out of a throng of kids. They each chose a stuffed animal - Claire chose a penguin and named him Guy (must be pronounced as French version for full effect) and Sydney got a polar bear, whose name keeps evolving.

After lunch, we headed to the Insectarium. The girls really enjoyed it there and learned lots about all sorts of insects. Not always pretty.

After some downtime at the hotel, we made our first foray to visit the full family in Brossard. We arrived at Tita Baby's house where we got to see Tara, Rachelle, Tita Baby, Tita Edna, Tita Josie, and Nai Nai. Most of us went to dinner at a very nice restaurant in the huge outdoor mall that's near Brossard. The weather had cleared so we took a walk all around after dinner.
