This weekend there was a lot more snowfall than we were anticipating. This, in turn, kept us snowbound on Saturday afternoon when we had planned to head out across the river for some photoboothing and shopping.
Making sure that the weather didn't keep us trapped all day Sunday, we decided to hop on a trolley early and ride it down to 19th Street to visit the Academy of Natural Sciences. I had taken Zoe there earlier in the month and she really enjoyed the Outside In play space they have where kids can pet animals and interact with different environments. Here are a couple of pictures from that day.
This time, like the last, wasn't much different. The main attraction for Zoe was Outside In, although she does enjoy seeing the butterflies and looking at all of the animals in their dioramas.I can't help but think that she finds it weird that the animals are all behind glass, she she's able to actually pet them at Mimi and Joe Pop's house. Even though she wasn't the biggest fan, she also walked among the dinosaur bones as well.
On the walk home from the trolley, we ran in to a snowman that someone had made right on the sidewalk. Being inspired by this, after her nap, Zoe and I went in to the backyard and made a snowman of our own. She is still terrible at posing for a picture, at least when you really want her to, but she is pretty great at putting together a snowman. The pine needle hair and heart were all her idea.
It was a lot of fun to put the snowman together, but I think I speak for all three of us when I say, we're done with winter. The warmer weather can't come soon enough.
