The Strong Museum

Last week, we spent part of the day at the Strong Museum with some friends.  It is such a great place!  Even though it is a children's museum, it is entertaining for "kids" of all ages.  It has become one of our favorite places- especially in the winter when it is so cold outside!
We began our adventure in the butterfly garden.  We only get tickets to go inside every once in awhile mainly because Abigail likes butterflies (and wants to go inside to see them) until they get close to her.  Since this butterfly garden is packed with butterflies and giant moths, we spend quite a bit of our time trying to keep Abby from completely freaking out.  This picture pretty much sums up the reactions of Michael and Abby on our latest visit.  Michael is just chilling and Abby is VERY nervous!

 Abby was completely unaware that this giant moth decided it liked her so much.  We had a bit of an adventure trying to coax it to find another spot.



One of Abby's favorite places to play is in the "Jack and the Beanstalk" area.  She would have been thrilled to play anywhere as long as there were no butterflies around.  The funny thing is, she is already asking about seeing the butterflies again!
