It's not often that I get to spend a day together with both of my kids. One that is not interrupted by hockey practice, ballet, or work at the salon. So, today I jumped at the chance to spend time with the kids and took them to the
Brooklyn Children's Museum. We planned ahead and arrived before the other locals. (I love Brooklyn in the morning!) And most of our time was spent exploring the visiting exhibit,
Secrets of Circles. It might seem a tad unimpressive at first, but upon a closer look we discovered a number of irresistible and interactive activities that kept our attention.
And, thanks to our friend Dani, our eyes were opened to mathematical, left-brain thinking and we were made aware, not only of how rocks are formed, but also how to arrange them to calm the rushing waters. Hmm...how is it I've made it this far in life not knowing how to calm the waters by such a simple approach? I mean, I know how to shut off the water supply, but subtle calming? Perhaps this idea is something I could further explore in my own personal waters. . . I'm still thinking. I'll drift along for now, and reflect on my wonderful day of learning and exploration.

| The sign reads, "one person at a time". No problem, I wasn't going to get in anyway. |

| O in a round boat from Thailand, I believe. |

| Pasha doesn't remember this tunnel, but he was here before in his pre-school years. |

| Pasha and another neat attraction |
