Earlier this month we took a trip up to Boston to visit Mark's sister, her husband, and their new baby Ilaria. An added bonus was also seeing Mark's parents who are currently stateside. I was excited to take the boys to see everyone but very worried about the plane ride. I was not so sure how keeping two busy toddlers confined to sitting in our laps for 3 plus hours was going to happen but surprisingly it went very smooth. Mark ended up on a row all to himself and I had an empty next to me which gave us more room to spread the boys out. Jonathan fell asleep during take off and we never heard any complaints about their ears. All in all we were very proud of them and received many compliments on their behavior and good looks :)
Entertaining themselves while waiting to board. Jonathan wanted to push Parker around.
Parker was content watching the airplanes out the window.
Jonathan enjoying his snack and the window seat view.
Parker finished off my bag of chips as part of his lunch.
Our first full day there we went to the Children's Museum. It was a perfect day to go because it rained all day. The museum was three floors FULL of fun things for kids to do. Parker pitched a fit EVERY time we left a room But as soon as we got to a new activity, he was easily distracted. However, we repeated this same cycle all day. He definitely has a personality that gets very focused on one thing and does not always transition well to a new thing. Jonathan was happy as long as he was on the move walking all over exploring everything.
This was a room full of golf balls and all kinds of ramps.
There was a bubble room full of various wands to make bubbles.
They had a room that was more specific to toddlers and infants. They offered an interactive music class you could participate in. ( Parker loved the shakers ). They also had play equipment, play kitchens, an art space, train tables etc.
It didn't take Parker long to find a push toy which led to anther fit when we had to pry his fingers off in order to go eat lunch.
There was a room of water and sand tables which made Jonathan very happy.
They had a construction room full of bulldozers, trucks, and hard hats.
A big portion of the second floor included scenes from the Arther book series and tv show like the school room and his kitchen. Unfortunately our kids are not very familiar with Arther and Friends to truly appreciate how they had things set up, but Parker had fun climbing up and down the ramp of the airplane from Buster's travel show.
Another room focused on activities to test and increase your balance. They loved the bridge.
The boys wore themselves out playing with everything. We could have spent days there. It was a very fun day for all!
