On Wednesday Susie and I took Ethan to the American Museum of Natural History which sits on the west side of Central Park. Getting there was a bit or an adventure as having both told Matt at the weekend the subway was easy to navigate we ended up on an express train to a stop 40 blocks of our intended stop. On the plus side Ethan used the extra long subway ride to nap.
When we got there we purchased a ticket for the butterfly exhibition as well as the standard entry. This runs until the end of May and you can go into a conservatory while hundreds of butterflies fly round you (http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/current-exhibitions/the-butterfly-conservatory)
Ethan was really interested in the butterflies until they came too close. In fact the one that flew into his face caused a mini breakdown. It was pretty amazing to see so many butterflies up close, Susie said the entrance fee for the entire museum was worth it just for this one exhibition.
After this exhibition we wandered around some of the exhibits we thought Ethan would like, namely birds, fish and large mammals (and some dinosaurs!). Overall it proved a really fun place to take Ethan, lots of excitement from him at the different animals.
We finished the day with a trip to Times Square. Ethan popped into see Daddy's office and then we took him on the Ferris wheel in Toys R Us.
And finally one of Susie pretending to be a shark.
