Finding Corbitt's Glen

It seems like ages ago that I shared our before-summer-ends list, but really it was less than two week ago. We have been doing lots in these past days. Working away at the list, fighting the bordem, and making just a few more memories.

Here is where the list currently stands:

• The Strong National Museum of Play (video game exhibit) check
• Swim at Ontario Beach Park check
• Play Frisbee Golf at Ellison Park and Picnic check
• Bowling
• Take a trip to a BIG zoo... The Buffalo Zoo
• Go camping, or to Aunt Mary's cottage check
• Cornmaze or Wickham Farms
• Planetarium or Science Center
• Check out the new Abraham Lincoln Park check
• Mini golf check
• Find Corbitt's Glen check
• Corning Museum of Glass
• Meet new school teachers check
• Stoneybrook Park
• Cupcakes @ Dollop check

Checking off "Find Corbitt's Glen" is what we did on Wednesday afternoon and we were joined by good friends. It was a little buggy, but incredibly beautiful! I can't wait to go back, with bug spray, and waterproof shoes. These falls look impressive, but the are really shallow and easily played in.










Today we'll be going mini golfing and to the beach. It is gearing up to be a hot one and a couple hours by the water will be welcome. Just a holiday weekend left to go and we'll be back to school! Can't freaking wait.

One Day Of Play - Part 8

I am acting as a ghost blogger this week. I am not actually here right now! I am away at a lovely cottage on Keuka Lake. But, magically, posts are going to appear this week. All from just a few hours at our local hot spot, The Strong National Museum of Play. What an awesome awesome time it was!! It has been years since we were there and the place has just exploded with new interactive exhibits. We had a blast!

YOU MADE IT!! Here we are at our last day of Ghost Blogging and I should be back to regular blogging tomorrow. Have you enjoyed our museum time so far? There was one more nook we explored called The Field Of Play. It was full of all sorts of interactive fun...










And, I haven't even shown you half of all the photos I took while we played! You can see the full collection of images here in my Flickr set called The National Museum Of Play. If you have kids, or are just young at heart, I think you should come visit me here in Rochester and we shall go for an adventure to the museum. I know my kids would love to go back!!

And one last thing I had to share. I could help but admire the quotes all through out the building...

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to...










SEASAME STREET!! Having been on television for more than 40 years now, I bet this is one childhood memory we all have in common. This is the part of the museum we remember visiting when the kids were toddlers and what fun it was to play here now that they are bigger. I think counting to 20 with The Count was Lauren's favorite part. And Andrew loved whacking the air out of those sounds tubes.

One last stop...

We blew through this section on American Comic Book Heros faster than a speeding bullet, but still had time to scale a few skyscrapers with a single bound.






I think you all will know the place we went next...
