My Old Toys

My mom saved all of our old toys and we pulled some of them out tonight. I thought that Ben's head was going to explode!




Visit to the Farm with Sue!

We had a special treat today! We were able to visit a little farm where my friend from high school works. We met some sheep and a new baby lamb, two horses, a donkey, and some chickens. Ben loved it and we even put him to work feeding the horses. When we were going home from lunch Ben said, "No home, more animals!" He was asleep about 2 minutes later. Thanks, Sue! It was great to see you!

New Jersey Children's Museum

Today we went with Beth and Caitlyn to the NJ Children's Museum. It is 15,000 sq ft of fun! They have a backhoe, firetruck and helicopter that they can get in and play along with a pizza parlor, hospital, tv station, grocery store, music room, castle, dino cave, old west town, kitchen, nursery and more! Everything is hands-on and made for kids. At first Ben was a little overwhelmed, but he was having a great time by the end. It was really crowded because it is a holiday, but we will definitely visit again! There are a lot of these indoor "museums" around here. This one was a bit more "hand-made" than the fancier ones, but still fun (and cheaper)!
