The Best Museum EVER!!! : NY part 2

The Strong National Museum of Play is the most awesome kids museum. It was so much fun that we went the first day & the last day of vacation! It was just sooo magical for Haley. To watch her face light up when she walked around the corner and saw her Sesame Street & Berenstain Bear "friends". Totally priceless!


Our first stop in the museum was their Butterfly Exhibit that houses over 800 butterflies.




They have a giant kid sized grocery store, where the kids can shop for what they want & then check themselves out. A storyland, with an always awesome Dragon. And of course, a train area, which included a ride-on-train, that Haley LOVED!


Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?


There was Big Bird up in his second story window. Haley just thought this was wonderful, she loved getting up on Daddy's or Papa's shoulders to say "Hello" to her good friend. We stopped by Elmo's World, where we read books & played "Elmo's Song" on his piano.


Haley on tv with Abby & Elmo. SOOOO CUTE!!!




She loved riding the "horsies"


Her Daddy is rubbing off on her, she really likes superheros.



Super Haley to the Rescue!


But the BEST part of the museum was BEAR COUNTRY!!!


She was in awe!


She loved holding their hands & giving them each kisses, over & over.


It was her best dream, come true.


It was like she belonged there.


Can you tell how excited she was?!


She got to brush giant teeth at Bear Country's Dental Office & she sold a quilt to Daddy at Mama's Quilt Shop.


And then to top it off, both days we were there we ran into Papa Bear. She was cautious, but she had to give him kisses on the nose.


It was such an amazing, magical day!
