A Rare Treat for Max -- Only Child for a Morning

Mark took a week off from work to do some things around the house and spend quality time with the family. On Wednesday, we decided to give Max a special treat -- going to the Museum of Life and Science while Mason was in school. It was wonderfully empty (those of you who have been there on a sunny Saturday understand why this was wonderful) and Max had a blast exploring the Dinosaur Trail, toddler area, and space stuff. In the butterfly house, we watched the first flight of newly emerged butterflies; one landed on Max's hand and another hit him on the cheek. He was thrilled to have the undivided attention of both his parents, but he missed his brother and definitely prefers NOT to be an only child.
