Long Island Children's Museum
A sister to the Children's Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton that we went to in November 2006, this is the Long Island Children's Museum in Nassau County. One of the parents in my class recommended this location, so we decided to check it out...
We were a little concerned at first, because Nolan and McKenna were initially content to run around the coat room! Not too hard to entertain toddlers, I guess!
This was very cool...a big room full of bubbles! The kids got to play with big wands and make huge bubbles...and daddy had a lot of fun with this, too. In the pictures on the right side, you can see the bubble bending as the kids blew on it, and you can see a couple of the bubbles in the other photos. I actually wish I got better pictures from this exhibit, because there were huge bubbles everywhere-they just kept popping before I could get the photo (and I had to help Nolan a little...his hands were slippery because he just had to put his hands IN the bubble solution).

One of our favorites at this location and in Bridgehampton...the instruments!
She looks like a mad-woman playing this xylophone...Chris stood her up on the table so she could reach the whole instrument and she had a blast!
This flower building set was so cool, and it was just wooden spoons cut short and painted, that fit into curtain rod finnials with holes drilled into them...genius! And the picture on the bottom left is of the awesome climbing structure they had. Our kids are too small to go on it, but it looked like so much fun (as long as you're not afraid of heights)! (Mandy, your boys would've LOVED this!)
Phones & Mirrors
Fun on the phone! McKenna and Nolan talked to each other on the red phones, and McKenna and I talked on the black phones (they were connected to each other from across the room, so when I picked up my phone, hers would ring...and yes, they are rotary phones with the real bell ringer-she thought they were pretty cool)! There were levers and pulleys to play with...very cool!
and mirrors are always fun...
the only mommy photos...building with the great wood block building area...and of course instead of sitting on the big orange sculpture for a picture, Nolan and McKenna decided it was more fun to run AROUND it!
