Strong Museum

Well, we ventured off to Rochester to the "Strong museum of play". It was our first time there, and I would defiantly go again! Sage was so excited about the Butterfly Garden, even wore a butterfly shirt so the butterflies would like it. Unfortunately it turned out to be not so fun for her. She hates bugs, and every time a butterfly flew past her, she freaked! Now mind you you are in a not so big room with 800+ butterflies, so they are constantly flying by you. I enjoyed it, there were some really beautiful ones. One landed on Jay's leg, so we let Sage hold it, to calm her fears. She held it for less than a minute, then freaked out to get it off....oh well. Ryder thoroughly enjoyed it. There are these birds running around too, and Ryder really got a kick out of them. He kept watching all the butterflies with this big smile, and laughing with excitement.
There was so much to do and see. There was a Clifford, and Bearnstain Bears exhibit as their features. Sage and I rode the train. Ryder kept running from one thing to the next, he was having a blast! We were there for over 3hrs, and there was some stuff we missed. Aside from the traffic we got stuck in coming home, it was a lot of fun!

(Oh, and I realize there are a lot more pictures of Sage than there are of Ryder, in my defense, I was holding him in the Butterfly Garden so he wouldn't kill any butterflies, and when he was playing...well, there was no standing still.)
