One of the best days of summer...Part II

After traveling to Sesame Street, the boys decided to do a little grocery shopping:





























Here Zach tried his hand at his first job, a cashier:


This was seriously a lot of fun, except for the fact that Zach wanted to put everything in his cart, and the museum limited it to 5 items, and Matt though he was Mario Andriette and was practically running people over with his shopping cart!

Then we were off to explore Japan, where Matt and Z went to see if a friend was home:

And Zach headed off to school to have lunch: And while their father, who lived in Japan for awhile, tried to convince them this room was interesting, Zach had his sights set on something a bit more "comical".

Wasn't I proud to see him so excited about Reading Adventureland...but wait...he's pointing to:


SPIDERMAN!


This museum had a room that specialized in Marvel Superheros and well, around these parts, seeing life-sized replicas of your favorite pals, is the pretty close to being in Heaven!


Zach was so excited he almost didn't spot his ultimate hero....THE HULK! Of course once he say him he and Dad transformed into their Hulk persona's too:

Even though Zach loves to be a Superhero, he was a little apprehensive about scaling the side of a building:
I guess even the best of superheroes can get afraid of heights now and again!


Once we were able to pry Zach away from the Superhero room, we headed down the road to The Bernstein Bears neck of the woods. At first the boys didn't seem to be as entranced with this room, but Zach got to building,


and Matt discovered a slide.



They both took to running businesses:
And Zach served me up a HUGE lunch at his restaurant:


While Matt greeted all the guests:



We made sure to brush after the meal of course:


After that we were off to party with pirates:


Meet a giant:




Climb his Beanstalk:



Pick vegetables with Peter Rabbit:



Create our own cartoons:



Then, Matt tried to grab a quick nap:



But decided hangin' with a troll was a better way to spend the day:



When he was done, he took me to the ball in a giant pumpkin:




While Zach talked with a dragon


After a wonderful lunch together at a 50's diner, we spent some time riding the carousel, and going on a train ride. Then it was time to get going. Dad spoiled his boys with some friends to take home. Matt of course got an Elmo whom he often sleeps with now. And when he can't find him will call, "Helmo, whhere har you?" . Zach opted for Grover, because we all know he is the superhero of the show.


What you probably don't know about him though, is that he is one heck of a driver!


Can you see now why it was one of the best days of the summer? I can't wait to go back and neither can the boys!
