Imagination and Brain Freeze

Jonathan in the train....

Andrew playing pirate..complete with map (of the place we were at).doubles great as a treasure map

A quick break with slushies (apple cider and strawberry)

Jonathan and lots of dump trucks. Not sure why he put them in the big wheel.

Big Slide!!

Jonathan really didn't need help going up the slide, he's got a healthy fear of heights (thank God for my sake)and it made him nervous going up by himself.
(he's been that way since he was at least 3 months old when I couldn't face him forward going down the stairs)

but he loves the slideas its a fast one!

Andrw loved that too. He had a great time jumping, doing the slide and watching the animals

Jumping!

Both had a great time jumping on the big pillow!

SO Much to Do

Tractors to ride........


Water and boats to play in

Tunnels to go through

Brown's Berry Patch

I love the pumpkin patches this time of year and all the things they can do there. We spent 4 hours today a this one and Jonathan was mad and didn't want to leave. He was out in 5 mintes after we left. They both had a great time

There's a train and a pirate ship to play on.

Enjoying the Hockey Game

Andrew loves hockey and Jonathan was pretty good there

At the Hockey Game

Love the face. I think Jonathan's favorite was the zamboni..thebig white car car he called them


The wave with a flag.

going under the flag

Sabres Game

Andrew happy to see the 'Canes play as he was actually born in NC

My little tag along wanted to come along

All Tired out....

all that running made for a tired boy

Park..

Next to the Strong National Museum of Play is this little park I convinced them to go for a bit. Last time we were here we didn't stay long and Jonathan was mad. NO CAR RIDE, NO EAT, PLAY!!he told us.

Had a great time and it did tire him out.

Still at the Museum...

I would have liked to go to the other place BUT they wanted to play for a bit...really I was bored with most of the stuff there..... Jonathan likes the traffic light and sand


Working the locks

THe Obcession Continues

I had another place I wanted to go today as it was beautiful outside but Andrew made it known I promised to take him there and he wanted to go. It was the science Center and they had a Sept 11 exhibition on. After another day of more questions I couln't stand it. I told him we would go if he stopped asking anymore questions about what went on that day.

The k-9 patrol care that was recovered at ground zero

The time line

The piece of fence that was used as a makeshift memoral after.
They did have quite acollection of stuff. Weird. It wasn't that long ago but the damage to it made it seem so much older. They had one of the flight attendant uniforms, an extra one but what she would have wore that day. I told Andrew, The first thing I said about that day is I came down, dressed in my (airlines) uniform that day.
He stop asking me questions after seeing it......at least for today.
