Steven's Special Day

Steven and I have been planning his special day for awhile (since February)! He knew he wanted to go to the Playmobil store (Woodbridge, NJ) so I found a few things in the area, and ultimately we decided to go to the Liberty Science in NJ, just across the river from NYC. It's actually in Liberty State Park - home of The Statue of Liberty. We were able to see her from the road, but decided to do the musuem first. Above Steven is at the Skyscraper exhibit - walking on beams 1.5 floors above the ground - cool! He didn't get too far before fear took over, but I am so proud he tried it! Below was in the health sciene area where you could be a scientist and we were working on HIV antibodies (not real!). This was one of his favorites.

Here we are as close to The Statue of Liberty as we could get without hopping on the ferry. We decided to wait for Andrew and Tim and make that a family trip. It was quite windy, but such a nice day!
Then we went to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe - yumm, and so much fun! Finally we got to the Playmobil store. He used his birthday money to treat himself to more toys. He really does play with them everyday, so who can complain. He is using his imagination daily. He was able to get a spy car and police car for his police/robber set; a dentist set and operating set for his hospital. He was a great shopper as it was buy 1 get 1 50% off!

We had a great time and can't wait to have another special day!
