Traveling with three kids hasn’t been hell – the 3 DVD players definitely help, especially since the trip to Rich’s sis Linda’s house in NJ took 15 hours. The first day we were there Raha forgot his morning medication and threw a small tantrum when I caught him in a lie, but fortunately he followed most of the agreement we’d made following the last big blow out. Maybe he’s starting to have an awareness of the impression these tantrums leave on other people?
We made a trip into NYC yesterday to go to the Natural History Museum and Rockefeller Center. It was by far the most crowded that Rich remembers so all of the kids were pretty overwhelmed. We saw Rich’s childhood friend Don & we both love just walking around the city, but I was sorry that we didn’t walk through Central Park on such a pretty day and that the museum was crowded enough that it wasn’t much fun.
On the way to Rich’s brother Ed’s house in Moorestown, NJ, today we went to the Freedom Science Center in Jersey City. It was amazing – even with the crowds. There were great interactive exhibits that all of the kids enjoyed even though we have such a wide age range. The favorite was an exhibit on skyscrapers that included a demonstration on hurricane force wind & water that Raha had me sit through (fortunately wearing waterproof gear) and Luke had a ball building demo building in scale sizes and with computer models. The highlight for Aaron was a rice filled sandbox in the kid area and he played in it for over an hour.
