Spring Break 2009








Spring Break started on Good Friday this year (April 10-19), so we were lucky to get an extra day of relaxing. On Monday, Mommy took us to the Bruce Museum in Greenwich. It is an Art & Science Museum. We got to see some really cool rocks...even ones that glow in the dark! They had a little aquarium there too. It had a couple of horse shoe crabs and fish in it. It was a really yucky day out, so it was nice to get out of the house and have a change of scenery. The next couple of days the weather was even worse! Cold and rainy, YUCK! On Thursday the sun finally decided to come out, so we went to play miniature golf down at Calf Pasture Beach (down the street from our house). This was the first time Emerson actually understood how to play and actually tried! He did a really great job! I even got a hole-in-one! On Friday Mommy drove us in to NYC for the day. First we went to a place called "Dylan's Candy Bar" which they say is the world's largest candy store! They had all kinds of fun stuff! Even though the Easter bunny had just come the weekend before, Mommy let us pick out some treats! I even got a new hat (my others are all too small now). After the candy store, we walked about 5 blocks to go to Johnny Rockets for lunch. It was a really fun place and we both ate everything on our plates! Emerson found a new favorite song too....Lollipop! He's so cute when he sings it! After lunch, we walked back to our car and drove to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was so awesome but soooo huge inside. We got to walk through and see the Egyptian exhibit with the mummies and the Arms and Armor section. I really liked seeing the horse with armor that was blue and looked like a blanket. After the Met, we went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather in Central Park. There were so many people there, and of course Em woke up a sleeping couple when he threw a stick at them (Mommy hopes this was on accident!!). She packed us up quickly and we went back to the car for the drive home. It took us about 2 hours to get home....oh, and Mommy's GPS charger was broken, so she had to get us home without help. I was pretty worried we wouldn't make it back, but we did. :) The last big thing that happened while we were on Spring Break was that I lost my 3rd tooth on Sunday morning! I woke up and it felt wiggly-er, so I just kept twisting it until it popped right out! I put it under my pillow last night and the tooth fairy left me a whole dollar for it! Maybe our Spring Break week wasn't soooo relaxing in retrospect. :)
