A couple weeks ago we ran, yes ran, through The Museum of Natural History. BP was into it, but BB just wanted to run through the place. We learned 15 months is just too young for this museum. We will definitely wait a few years before going back. The butterfly exhibit was amazing and did keep BB's attention for a little while. One of the butterflies got drunk and fell by her feet and she loved that. After the butterfly expert rescued it from the floor and BB, she explained that butterflies can get drunk off the fruit they feed them when it ferments. Interesting fact. BP's favorite part I think was the toucan in the rainforest display. We said farewell to The Museum of Natural History for a few years and both girls passed out in the car before we even left the city.

I had no idea about butterflies getting drunk. Neat-o. I'm sure it was tough with BB. It's great you gave it a good try, though! I haven't been there since I taught second grade and we took the kids on a field trip. Chaos!!
Yeah, it's awesome you went. That's one of my favorite museums in the city. The last time I went was with my niece and nephew, and YES it was chaotic. I think they are at the age NOW where they have the patience and stamina and thirst for the whole thing.
I was wondering if you guys were going to head to NYC if it snowed! I'm trying to talk my hubby into heading down there this weekend with Dylan because he wants to see the dinosaurs...better leave the girls home though based on what you posted. Glad you had a great time!
