2 Museums, 1 Great Day

When it's cold outside and you've been cooped up inside for what seems like months, you'll do just about anything for some entertainment! Not knowing what we'd find, we took the hour long trek into Hartford to explore two small kid's museums...and ended up having a wonderful time! The Children's museum was chuck full of exploration and reptiles, while the Kid City museum had gorgeous artwork and life-like murals! The two were just right for a cold winter day.

Like an Energizer Battery, a New England winter just keeps going, and going and going....

A Hyatt Family Gathering

We were fortunate enough to be able to get all of the Hyatt siblings and their children together for a visit shortly after Christmas. We are always so appreciative to Dan's sister Diane for hosting all 14 of us, especially since she is centrally located. This year Diane's husband Brian went all out with the entertainment by creating the Hyatt Family Carnival Games! He organized a weekend of egg races, darts, Nerf battles, take 2 (aka Bananagrams), foose ball and sling shots!! It all culminated on our last evening with a mini fireworks display, award ceremony and bonfire!!


It was wonderful to see everyone, especially the kids who all grow and change so fast. Many thanks to Brian and Diane for hosting and for all the hard work that went into the Carnival Games...I think I speak for the whole family when I say it was a weekend full of special memories.

Wii Sing...popular for those singing, not so much for those listening.



Emily was quite electrifying!
