Sitting On Top Of The World
by Sebastien
As part of our summer vacation,
Mommy and Daddy took me and Sacha to the biggest city in
Canada.
It's called Toronto. We stayed at a very nice hotel in the
SkyDome (which is where the Blue Jays play baseball). It's
located right beside this big tower called the CN Tower.
Here's a photo that Daddy
took of our hotel.
The CN tower goes way way high up in the sky. Daddy told me that at 553.33 meters (1,815.39 feet) it's the "World's Tallest Building, Tower, and Free-Standing Structure". I couldn't wait to go all the way up to the top to see what it looked like up there in the big blue sky.
Now if you figure that the CN Tower's Skypod, at 147 stories, is the world's highest observation deck, does that mean that Sacha set a world record for having the world's highest diaper change...?

Let's go
to the top!
Daddy told me that
when he was a
little boy like me, his daddy took him up the CN Tower, so he thought
it would be fun to go up it again. I was very excited about
going
up it too. Once we got our tickets, we got in line for the
elevators.
It was a neat ride the
top
because the elevators have
glass windows so you can see outside while you're going up.
Mommy
didn't like looking out the windows though because it made her feel
a little dizzy.
Going
up in the elevator It
was neat when we got to the first observation floor called the "Look
Out". You could see way way far. All the people
looked like
ants and the cars on the street look like my little "Hot Wheels" toys.
Here's some photos of us enjoying
the view
We even took a walk outside on
the CN
Tower's outdoor walkway. It was really windy out there and
our
hair got all messed up.
One of the neat things at the
CN Tower is
that there is a part where the floor is made out of glass! So
when you walk on it it's like walking on air because you can see all
the way down to the ground.
I had lots of fun jumping and dancing around on this glass floor.
For
some reason when I would jump on the glass, the people around me would
get little nervous. Maybe they didn't know that the floor was
made strong enough to hold a dozen hippos, so there was no way it was
going to break...

After
exploring the glass floor for a while, it was time to go to the highest
part of the tower - the Skypod. Daddy tells me that it's the world's
highest observation deck. I can believe it because you can
see
way far far.
Here's some photos of us in the Skypod
Look - there's the SkyDome - that's where our hotel room is

Mommy
with what may be
a world record setting diaper.
a world record setting diaper.
After enjoying the view for a
little
while longer, we took the elevator back down. It
was nice to be back on solid ground.
I hope you enjoyed my
adventure.
I'll be sure to write again soon because I have lots more to tell you
about.
