Prague - Part 4 (The Toy Museum and Franz Kafka)

Everett and Mommy are helping Liam to find every single animal in the antique Noah's Ark collection.
Yup, those are some vintage Star Wars toys along with some newer ones.
Some New Kids on the Block dolls.  This picture is mostly for those who remember the NKOTB (especially Dawn)
Everett pushes a button on an interactive display.  Liam is entranced... at least for 1.39 nanoseconds.
These soldiers remind me of the setups at Grandpa Timpson's house.  He would have loved this museum!
Liam and Everett marveling in front of the antique toys under the careful eye of Darth Vader.
Mommy and a huge Christmas pyramid.
We had gone through all of the exhibits, and the museum was closed, when Everett asked us to take a picture of him with Superman.  We had already left the museum, but we decided to see if the doors were already locked.  Mommy ran up the stairs with Everett, and the lady was still there and let us take this picture, which averted an emotional meltdown.
Here is Daddy leaning against the Franz Kafka memorial in the Jewish Quarter.  This was not too far from where he was born.
As we were walking around the largest castle in the world, freezing our buns, we saw a little sign for a toy museum.  At this point, we were willing to do just about anything to get out of the cold and warm ourselves for a while.  It was still on the castle grounds, and the price was reasonable.  The boys loved it!  There were so many awesome vintage toys.  Everett was a little dismayed at the number of Barbie dolls on the top floor, but that is also where we found the Star Wars toys.  Wasn't sure where else we could have put the picture of Daddy in front of the Franz Kafka monument, but we just had to put it somewhere.
