Day at the Museum

Today we went on a family outing to the New York State Museum. Because it was going to be an adventure, Dora had to accompany Gwen!
Gwen enjoyed running around many of the exhibits. Once in awhile she would stop and take a look at something. Some of the "stuffed" animals caught her attention. She wanted to hold the animals and would reach for them while saying, "Ah hold!"

Gwen appreciated the benches located throughout the museum and took a seat on many of them. Sometimes a more extensive rest was required, and she would lay down.

Gwen learned about many interesting things including: fossils, bugs, animals that live or have lived in New York, and the Erie Canal. One of Gwen's favorite parts of the museum was a small table with chairs that had paper and crayons for coloring. Mom and Dad's favorite part of the adventure was when Gwen said she needed to use the potty and was successful in the public restroom!

The adventure ended with a carousel ride. Gwen was all smiles!

As we headed back to the car, we asked Gwen if she liked the museum. She replied with an affirmative, "AGAIN!"
