Strong Museum

We had a very family filled weekend. On Saturday we took the kids to a family birthday party. As I have mentioned before, my children regard their cousins as friends. And when you are going to a party and a ton of your friends are going to be there, it's something to look forward to. Needless to say, twelve o'clock on Saturday could not come soon enough for these two!

On Sunday we took the kids to Strong Museum, for those of you not from Rochester, it is an amazing place. Most recently they doubled their space to 282,000 square feet, with a $37 million dollar expansion. It is the first and only major museum in the world devoted to the study and interpretation of play.
We covered about two thirds of it in about three hours. That was just walking through playing with some things looking at others, the kids did some crafts, but for every one they did there was ten more that they didn't want to slow down to try.
It encourages reading and adventure, the respect and study of nature, and best of all there is nothing they can't touch, or play with.
That is what makes it great. I can't wait until Little Man and Goo come back to New York, they will love it.
I needed this weekend, due to the events of the past week, I just needed to have a good time. Last week our house was a little more empty, and Sundae is no longer a tortured soul. So to act silly and have a good time with Little P, Boots and Mr. Fantastic was perfect!
