Another amazing, but exhausting, day at the Hannaford Kidz Expo. I love doing stuff together as a family. :o)
Our favorite highlights of this year's expo would be ArtsPower’s production of Harry the Dirty Dog in the Swyer Theatre in the Egg and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clowns. My daughter was disapointed she didn't get to do American Idol with Fox23 news this year but unfotunately this year we were on a time schedule. We had a birthday party to go to at 2:30 so we couldn't stay the whole day. We were there four and a half hours and we still didn't get to do everything, that's how much stuff there is here folks.
When we first got there Fox23 news was still setting up their cameras, when we next walked by their booth was swamped. At one point we asked how long and there was a twenty minute wait. For a five year old a twenty minute wait can be an eternity (for a 30 year old it may be even longer!) So we distracted her with a smoothie and and headed over to see the clowns!
We had to wait to get into the circus room too so we walked next door to see the snakes. My daughter touched every snake and reptile in the room! My youngest stared at them all and pushed the older one out of the way reaching out her little hand to touch them too. I didn't let her because there were signs and sanitizer everywhere saying to wash your hands after touching the reptiles. I am not too keen on regular hand sanitizer, I believe more in soap and water, so I decided to skip letting the baby touch the reptilians.
I, too, would have liked to stay longer and check out more of the cool things going on like the Schenectady Museum Planetarium or Rock Band 101 by StarFish. But, all in all, it was an amazing time well spent with my amazing family!
