Trip to Museum of Play

It's a trek to get there, but it sure is fun once we're there. We went last Thursday and finally made it to the far back of the museum where the Berenstain Bears room is. Theo went immediately for the books and sat quietly reading Berenstain Bears books until I convinced him to explore the room a little bit.

Grocery shopping at the very realistic Wegmans.

Driving the car in the Sesame Street exhibit. Theo is working the radio to talk to dispatch.

Beckett is getting good retail experience at Farmer Ben's Fruit Stand at the Berenstain Bears exhibit.

Florida Vacation Part V: Out and About

At the Lazy Flamingo. This year we didn't get a picture with the manager in his flamingo hat.

For St Patrick's Day we went to Sundial Resort to see Danny Morgan, a local somewhat-famous singer, but he was off that night. We had some drinks and listened to the band. The boys experienced their first Shirley Temples, which they did not like but kept drinking. The adults tasted them as we were leaving and thought they tasted like dishwater.

Dancing with Grandma Joanie.

Theo enjoying a book on the couch. Theo's revelation of the vacation was that if he didn't wear a diaper during his nap, he could touch his penis (not allowed during reading time with Grandpa Stu, or any other adult reader). A couple times as he was getting into bed he would say, "I can touch my penis now?" 

At Timbers Grill.

Running around in the grass behind the house. This was one of the rare clothed periods.

Fun times in the bathtub with Grandma Joanie.

Every morning the boys ran into Grandma Joanie and Grandpa Stu's bed to read for about an hour before breakfast. 

Thursday night after Daddy and Grandma Joanie left, Grandpa Stu and I took the boys to Doc Ford's for a great meal (and a long wait) and then some fro-yo at the Zebra. The boys were so hungry they gobbled up the celery and carrot sticks before dinner came, then decimated the rice and beans and fish.

Florida Vacation Part IV: Beach

Florida Vacation Part III: The Pool

We spent almost every afternoon at the pool. Thank goodness for these swim shirts so that we don't have to lather and reapply sunscreen to these little bodies! The boys became very brave, jumping off the side of the pool (mostly when the adults were nearby and ready). They loved being thrown in the air, blowing bubbles in the water, and swimming from one adult to the other (mostly being pushed, but there was also kicking and reaching).
