The CN Tower

Jon On Friday January 2, we went to the CN tower. We waited in line for the glass elevator. We were the first ones in. As the elevator went up, I took a look at the view down below me. It was cool.

We went to the Horizons restaurant for lunch. I ordered steak with french fries, and chatted with Alastair and Jim. After that, we went around the tower to see the glass floor.

We took a Vine video of me on the glass floor and also took one of mom jumping on it.

We also went outside on the outer deck and took pictures. That was a very cold blast of wind up there. We had a great time! Thanks to Jim and Wendy!

Dr. Antivirus

Jon This just in: Here’s a film that I created in Frames 5 at school.

(NOTE: Jon created another stop-motion animated film, this time in his media arts course at school. Time to use his iPad to do some animated home movies! – L)

Update: Here’s the making of video.

First time voting

Jon I VOTED!

(To avoid crowds we went to the advance poll for this interminable municipal election. This was Jon’s first experience voting since he turned 18 a month ago, and it went smoothly—despite the fact that the volunteer didn’t seem totally clear on how to use the assistive equipment. Afterward, Jon was quite chuffed with having done his civic duty, as can be seen in the photo.—L)

Ducks and Turtle

Jon This just in: Here’s a short film that I made at the NFB.

(Note: Jon created a stop-motion animated movie at a downtown workshop at the National Film Board, then did post-production at home, adding sound effects and music in iMovie.—L)

Ripley’s Aquarium

Jon On Wednesday August 20th we went to Ripley’s Aquarium by bus. I saw Dory, Nemo, stingrays and sharks. I also saw some jellyfish reflections.

Right before lunch I went on Dangerous Lagoon, where I got on a magic carpet that took me across the ocean. As the conveyor belt moved, I got a chance to feel the movement for a long time. It’s very cool.

I didn’t have time to see a diving show. I checked out the gift shop, where you buy things. After that, we went back on the bus to go back to Bloorview. I had a fantastic, exciting day.
