Wordless AND Wordful Wednesday..I'm thinkin, I'm thinkin, I'm thinkin
Wed, June 10, 2009 
This past weekend my mom and I took my boys to the New York City Museum of Natural History. I had not been there since I was a teenager, and my oldest had just seen Night at the Museum and was dying to go find Larry (the security guard in the movie). 
We jumped on the train and made it to NYC by the time the museum opened. Here we are sitting on the steps waiting to get in (also, a very rare occasion that I made it in FRONT of the camera..(thanks Mom!))
My oldest was completely in awe of everything. The baby sat in his stroller asking "what's that?" and "why?" which was hysterical. My oldest got a little freaked out with the really big dinosaurs, he kept thinking they would come alive like in the movie (which was adorable).. 
One of my favorite exhibits were the mini-scenes all over the museums. Here are two of my favorite from the day:
And then my little guy was super happy to see Dum Dum Yum Yum in person!! (lighting was awful here..and I am so anti flash that I just told my mom to shoot...) Oh..and that look on his face is all "SERIOUSLY.. ANOTHER PICTURE!!" -He gets all anti-paparazzi on me now.
He was bummed we didn't run into Larry, or The Thinker (I'm thinkin, I'm thinkin, I'm thinkin- sorry, one of my favorite lines from the movie!)
We then headed over to the Central Park Zoo.. but that is like a WHOLE other post!

That looks like you guys had a wonderful time - how cool is that, you live close enough to enjoy that! Me...I'm with your son, I'm sure I'd be a little paranoid they dino's were going to come get me! :)

Looks like a great time! Nick would be so jealous if he saw these. ;-)
That has to be one of my favorite museums in NY. I love the photos. I can certainly see why he was intimidated by the massive dinosaur bones.
I love the second shot of you and your boys on the steps. They were so happy.
These are great. Love em!!
oh I so need to do this with my kids - we are gong to WC in July - so I think they will be cool!
I love it! It is such a great museum ... but now it is like living the movie! Next time I am in town we will have to make a visit together.

Oh my goodness! It's Night at the Museum! How cool!

I bet this was an awesome place to take them! It looks like it was a lot of fun-- I really need to see these movies, huh? I keep hearing good things!
Great photo's! I particularly likes the second mini-scene. Magical.
I've never been to New York City. I'm looking forward to discovering things like this museum with my children.
