  Discovering their new Pillow Pets!

Patrick especially, was SO excited about his new bee.

  The little bear loving life.

Later, in the gift shop, Andrew discovered a little violin that was just his size.  No matter how you played it, it was never out of tune (thankfully.)  He looked so darling with that little instrument.  He played it so seriously that he won a little audience of on-lookers that clapped every time he paused.  He had so much fun with that toy that he had a major throw-down when it was time to leave.  It’s so awkward carrying a kicking and screaming two-year-old through the rows and rows of breakable knick knacks on the way to the door.  Gotta love toddlers.  The violin playing was cute while it lasted.
