Well mom woke up yesterday and declared, lets go! Where? Everyone asked, to a museum I said!! Needless to say everyone was very excited!! So we got ready and headed to the Hartford's Children's Museum!
So here is our adventure and a whole lot of pictures!! :)
Fern had a great time, usually she is just along for the ride, but not this time, she wanted to walk almost the entire time, and she was so "talkative". This is the 4 and under room, Fern and Jake loved it!
They had a sand table in there, filled with a mixture of sand and rice. See there is a good use for cheap white rice!! :) The room was painted like different habitats, ie; desert, mountains, lake, etc.
There was also a little house that Fern and Jake thought was great!
Look what I made you mom! The smiles yesterday were priceless!
They had a wildlife area, lots of reptiles, but a few birds who had been injured that they take care of. Here is a great horned owl, it was so old, and asleep, doing the classic head bobb. It was hysterical! We took this picture for Great-grandma Jenson!
Here is Fern meeting the cute little screech owl! They looked at each other quite intently!
This is one of my favorite pictures, this is this whirly feather machine run bu an upside down bike, Riley was pedaling with his arms!
Riley loved this Lego car race track!
My boys were happy LOTS of LEGO'S!
There is this gigantic concrete sperm whale, which is CT's state animal. It is hollow inside so we got to go inside, and pretend we were Jonah swallowed by the whale!
Fern was ready to go home! Jake wanted to see the animals again! They had a whole room called Turtle World! Riley did give his opinion, and I did not ask! :)

Corn on the cob, and the most delicious artichokes, we ate them last night and they were heavenly!!!! And I splurged and bought some avocado rolls (veggie sushi) and it was divine!! So now (since we bought a family pass to the museum) we will be going to Whole Foods more often!! :)
