Visit to Uncle Marc's!

Last weekend we made a quick trip up to Rochester, NY so Kevin could take his step 1 of the board exam (and to visit Uncle Marc, of course). While Kevin was enduring 8 hours of testing, Marc and I took the boys to the children's museum and had a great time. Here are the highlights:

A mini "Wegmans" inside the museum proved that boys really do like to shop (and now Carson has a new addition to the "What do I want to be when I grow up" list).

Connor charging:

Carson was very picky. They gave you a limit of 5 items and only the best would do. His pick included salmon, melon and ice cream.

Inside the butterfly garden within the museum:

Watching intently:

Carson was thrilled that a butterfly actually landed on him. He thought he must be sweet. I didn't disagree.

Carson found his beloved "fake snow" and was thrilled.

Building a castle with Uncle Marc:

How did Marc get away with watching the baby while I squeezed into this thing? Going around once was fun. Going around 6 times was not so much.

Driving the taxi around Sesame Street:

Even Cameron had a good time.

After we left Marc's house on Saturday, we checked out the lilac festival:

Then we headed to the church history sights:

Too bad the boys were more interested in looking for caterpillars and blowing dandelions than they were about trying to make this a spiritual experience. Maybe next time.

We also stopped at Niagara Falls:

Before getting on the boat. Even the baby got a little poncho!

If I can ever get the video to upload I will post the video before and after. It's pretty funny.

Thanks again, Marc and Laura for letting us bum off you by staying at your place! Marc, it was great to see you one last time (sorry, but I don't think we'll see you much in Rochester, MN)!
