More Play Museum photos

Here are a few more photos from our first trip to the Play Museum. There is one area of the museum called "Reading Adventureland". This is a photo of Michaleigh playing dress up and pretending to be Cinderella in her pumpkin coach. We have returned to this area many times since.


They have the coolest train table I've ever seen. There is also a train for the kids to ride on in this area.

There seem to be carousels everywhere up here! Here is a photo of the one at the museum. This is always a fun way to end any day!

This was a very memorable moment that Michaleigh still talks about. We went to the butterfly garden while we were at the museum and Michaleigh was a little disappointed that the butterflies weren't landing on her so one of the workers placed a newly emerged butterfly (just out of its chrysalis) on her hand. While the butterfly sat there, he "quirted" Michaleigh leaving a little wet spot on her hand. She still likes the butterflies but I'm not sure she wants one to land on her for a while.

The Strong Museum of Play

Here are a few photos from our first of many trips to the Play Museum in Rochester. It is a great place for kids (and grown-ups) to play and use their imaginations. We love it there! If you want to see more about it, go to www.museumofplay.org . (Sorry the pictures are backwards in order...we are still learning!)

Here is Michaleigh with her groceries and her reciept showing what she purchased at the kids Wegmans.

Watching Michaleigh scan the groceries proved how much shopper training she has had! She was a pro at scanning the bar codes. It made her mother proud! :)

Here is the produce department at the kids Wegmans. This is Kristin's favorite part of the Play Museum, of course.

There is a whole area of the museum devoted to the Berenstain Bear family. We all love reading the Berenstain Bear books so we were very excited to get our photo with the whole Berenstain Bear clan!

Does this scene look familiar? If so, you've been watching Sesame Street! Andy and Michaleigh are sitting outside

Our first attempt at blogging

Okay, so this is our first attempt at blogging. We are learning as we go so please bear with us. Here is a photo from the beach here at Rochester. We hope to keep learning and keep posting the Shughart family adventures.
