Ari meets Frosty the Snowman at the Strong Museum's
Polar Party, which was held the beginning of February. |
Part of the Strong Museum's permanent collection is
an exhibit on Sesame Street, which includes a large taxicab.
Ari loves to drive the taxi, as do all the children who come
to Strong. |

|
Another permanent exhibit is a model Wegmans. Yay,
corporate sponsorship! Some adults roll their eyes, but the kids
love it. Here, Ari scrutinizes the produce. |
Ari adds pasta and cereal to her cart. |

|
It's time to check out. Ari unloads her purchases. |
Price check on hot dogs! |

From customer to cashier. Ari works the scanner, which
does print out actual receipts. |
We didn't have a ton of snow this winter, but one
day during the week we had a good few inches. |

Ari plays in the back yard. |
Making tracks...but was it Ari, or Freckles? Probably
both. |

Lisa had promised Ari they would build a snowman
when we had a good snowfall. Unfortunately, this snow was powdery
soft...great for walking or skiing, terrible for making snowballs! |
After trying and trying to make a decent-sized
snowball (you see all the places where we tried to roll it around),
we decided to try piling the snow, but we still couldn't get
it high enough. |
 |
 |
|
Ari adds to the snow pile, but it was still too soft
to make a decent mound. No matter how much we piled up, it wouldn't
grow. |
Even using shovelfuls of snow didn't work. |
 |
 |
|
We finally settled on making tree faces, a trick
that Grandpa John taught Lisa years ago. Even soft snow will
stick to a tree. |
The other tree got not only a face, but a coat
with buttons, courtesy of Ari. |
