Candy Land

I'm not sure who's idea it was to venture into the city but we {the adults} were all foolish enough to agree and follow along. It was a very, very, very cold day. The temperature didn't make it above 20 degrees all day and the wind was whipping all around.

We ditched the boys {not for long} and went to American Girl. I must admit that I enjoy going in there just as much as the little ones.

Molly and Mia have quite a collection of dolls, outfits and accessories. It's always fun for me to shop for birthdays and holidays. I think it's rather sweet that both my nieces have dolls with their names.

The children wanted to go to the Museum of Natural History. We happily complied and spent hours exploring. I love watching their faces as they discover and realize their surroundings.

Due to the extreme cold, we passed on the opportunity to skate at Bryant Park. You know it's cold when the children beg you not to go ice skating!

They were MOST excited about visiting the infamous Candy Land in Toys R Us.

If you've never been, it's quite a sight to behold ~ and taste! ;)

The selection of bulk candy is overwhelming and rather pricey at $10 a pound. You'd be surprised how quickly a pound accumulates in those little bags. We had to set a "no higher than" mark on each of the bags. My husband and I learned our lessons the hard way ~ $48 dollars in bulk candy on our first visit!

Even the adults got in on the fun of choosing some goodies for the train ride home. They have candy that I've never heard of nor seen sold in any stores.

We had fun comparing our loot and flavors. I was most impressed with the swirl and multi flavored gummi bears ~ the red is my favorite.

I guess I'll have to go back to get more!

Yummy

Just a quick shot with the Candyman before the sugar rush hit!

Nicholas wasn't with us due to his schedule so we are missing the

oldest cousin in our family.

It would have been nice if we had had our entire family for this fun outing.
