We had an awesome day today.  I think Calvin was the happiest I’ve ever seen him.  We apologize for the barrage of videos that resulted.

We got up first thing in the morning and drove the rest of the way to Toronto, and then when we got to the hotel I wrapped Cal up like a like tortilla man:

After we got settled in, we drove down to Casa Loma, a 180,000 sq ft, 93 room castle built in the early 1900s.

Calvin’s favorite part of the tour was the fans:

The castle also has a great view of downtown Toronto:

Next, it was off to the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Ontario Science Center.  They had all sorts of HP props and costumes on display.  I guess they don’t need all that any more since the movies are done filming.

Cal loved the tunnel near the entrance to the Museum:

Once you actually entered the exhibit, they didn’t allow any photographs or videos. (Grrr….)

I was able to grab a discrete video of Calvin getting sorted:

And I snapped a quick pic of Ron’s costume:

Finally, Calvin finished the day off by laughing again spontaneously at the hotel:
