Please Touch.......

Museum

This past Saturday we went down to the new Please Touch Museum that opened up in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. We had never been to Fairmount Park and it was really nice. There were some amazing old buildings that had been built for the Centennial celebration and so they are all over a hundred years old and amazing architecture. Beautiful old oak trees lined the street, although they are mostly bare of leaves now.

We met my friend Jessica, her husband Mangesh (Manny), and their beautiful little girl Layla Mungekar. Jessie is a dear old friend and my old roommate from Portland, OR. It was so nice that we both ended up on this end of the country close enough to see each other once in awhile.

Layla and Miranda became fast buddies and Layla followed Miranda all around the museum. Actually I guess Miranda did more of the following. Toddlers aren't known for long attention spans.

There was a beautiful old wooden carousel. It was pretty tame (slow) even for a Merry Go Round. Miranda was bored with it but it was just right for Layla.

She was waving at her DaddyThe butterfly was my favorite piece of art. It was in the Alice in wonderland garden.

Two cute.......
