More New Years Eve

I was able to get the photos off my camera, so I have more of party animal Calvin from the wedding. 
Here he is all dolled up.
 He was shy at first.
 Family picture before the madness started.
 A pep-talk from Pop-Pop.
 Calvin and the ring-bearer got the dancing started before dance floor opened.
 I think he must be wiggling his butt in this picture.
 Get down!
 Who me?
 Oh yeah!
 Then the real dance floor opened up.
 The kids drew quite a crowd.
 Boogie down!
 Dancing with Grandma!
 A little floor work.
 Here he is grabbing this nice woman's leg. It happened all night to many strangers. He is quite forward.
 Checking out the bride and disappointed he couldn't see (or feel) her legs.
 More floor work.
 Picking out accessories for the New Year's celebration.
This one?
Maybe a necklace?
 He had to wear this one so he could read it himself.
Calvin requested a hat when he saw the other guys wearing hats.
 Mr. Cool.
 Refused to look at the camera.
 Skipping away to go dance with...
 the big boys (who mommy had to make sure didn't step on Calvin).
 Upon finally getting tired and wanting to leave, he got to give the bride a good-bye hug.
 He couldn't take his eyes off her.
It was a great (and exhausting) time!

Longwood Gardens

The day after the Please Touch Museum, we went to Longwood Gardens to see the Christmas lights display they have. It was beautiful!

 But it was also very cold
 so we quickly made our way to the indoor displays.



 There were all sorts of light displays throughout the greenhouses.


 They have an area that has numerous water fountains.
 I believe it was a little confusing to him as to why the day before we were encouraging him to play in the water (at the museum)
 and this day we were telling him to just look and not touch (only because it was really cold out and wet sleeves would not be a good thing).

 He had fun regardless.

It was another great outing!

Please Touch

While in Philadelphia, we visited a great kid's museum called the Please Touch Museum. 
 He got to touch water,
 drums,
 turtles,
 boats,

 bikes,
 rakes,
 pianos,
 castles,
 rainbows,
 mirrors,
 trains,
and stereoscopes (Todd looked that one up for me).
 There was an awesome grocery store.
 Calvin found lots of groceries he wanted to buy.


 There was a mail truck, too. Calvin loves to talk about the mailman coming everyday so very happy to see a mail truck.
I think he had a little more fun in the truck that the mailman does.

 I think the slowest he moved all day was when he reach the balance beam.
 He had to concentrate hard to get across
 but he did it.
 Of course we had to find some buttons to press.
 And then we cruised our way out of there.
Needless to say, he took a good nap that day.
