Kiddos in Princeton

Last weekend I had the chance to hang out with my nephews and my brother, John, in Princeton. We crammed a lot into one day, but one of the highlights was going to the Geosciences building on campus and getting to see REAL dinosaur bones! Sebastian is studying dinosaurs in school right now, so he was particularly interested in this complete allosaurus skeleton that they have on display:

All three of the boys were pretty interested, and they were very good at being quiet and not touching anything (for the most part). John and I told them we had to act like spies because there were students doing work in the building and we had to be quiet.

After visiting the dinosaurs in Guyot Hall, we walked through campus to Firestone Library to visit the kids' favorite children's library. After spending some good time there, we walked to Labyrinth books and then over to The Bent Spoon for some delicious ice cream.

After sitting in Palmer Square and enjoying the day and our ice cream, the kiddos ran around a little bit, including Nathaniel giving Emerson a piggy back ride. Em obviously thinks this is great. I love his expression here:

All was well until Nathaniel tripped and skinned his elbow on the pavement, at which point we walked back to my house and cleaned him up. Then John packed everyone up and after nearly 6 hours of fun in Princeton headed home with the boys. It was a really fun way to spend a beautiful Sunday in Princeton.
