A Day Out

In February, the public schools here get a week off- so we decided to try out a new place- the Brooklyn Children's Museum.  It's wonderful.  So much better than its Manhattan counterpart.  (Although it seems to be in a kind of sketchy area of Brooklyn).  We had a great time- so many wonderful activities & special events happening that day!

Ella went shopping at an International Grocery Store & the girls worked at a Pizza Parlor for a little while.  The played in sand & water, did all sorts of scavenger hunt-type things, learned about the Gullah people (direct descendants of slaves brought to the United States in the 17th century to work the rice plantation) and just had a good time.  We were sad to leave.
