NY State Museum

My friend Jess and I decided to get the kiddos out of the house and go to the museum. Justin and I have attempted to take the kids once before when his parents were in town, but I think he was just too little and had NO patience for it. This time was great. He and Mason lasted through almost the whole museum. Abby did well until nap time.

Can you see how excited they are?

Ayen loved the Sesame
Street set

The dinosaurs were also a big hit

In the back of the museum they have a kids lab with toys and computers. We spent quite a bit of time there building with legos.

Afterward, we went upstairs, had lunch at Subway, and rode on the old carousel that they have. All in all, it was a fun and educational day. I think we'll do this again sometime.

Abby has become quite the little explorer. She also has a great vocabulary already and can say at least 30 words.

Playing in all the

stuffed animals

I'm also super excited because her hair is just long enough for me to put up in pigtails. She hasn't really realized that they're there, so they stay put for the whole day.

Smiling for the camera

Ayden is such a great big brother. He loves to play with Abby and is always looking out for her. But, he is also a little stinker and this is what happens when left alone for 5 minutes. Thank goodness it wasn't permanent!

Having fun playing the wii
