So hot that the park across the street has been practically empty all weekend until 5pm, when some brave souls drag their stir-crazy children out.
So hot that I feel like a roasting chicken when I step out into our apartment's hot, stuffy, lobby.
So hot that our curtains are drawn practically the whole day so that we keep the sun's powerful rays out.
Blech.
With hubby home for the long weekend, we wanted to hang out as a family... but where could we go that was fun, kid-friendly, and indoors?
Luckily for us, Hubby found out that the New Jersey's Children's Museum is located only about a half hour away. So, we spent one weekend morning there, hiding from the heat and having lots of fun. We're so thankful that places like this exist. They had lots of toys and interactive exhibits just right for young kids. And, bonus- everything there is meant to be touched, pulled, pinched, dropped, etc... which is just perfect for us, since Chuck's super active and curious. Here are some photos from our fun (and cool) day:

| Need something demolished? Chuck's ready to help out. |
 |
| Fee-fie-fo-fum! There's something awesomely cool about seeing things in miniature size |
 |
| Perhaps Chuck's favorite exhibit- the sandbox. |
 |
| Largest kaleidoscope I've ever seen- you had to turn a steering wheel to operate it |
 |
| Chuck and a new four-legged buddy save the day |
 |
| Ack! These little wooden Wild West toys are just too cute. |
 |
| The super-humongous lite-brites board made us feel like kids again (It would also be an awesome DIY to make one day... oh huubbbby.....) |
Hope you had a good weekend as well.
