I've never seen so many Barbie Dolls...

We took the girls to the Toy museum this last weekend. The toy museum is housed in a building in Prague Castle. You have to walk up a tower to get to the museum so I carried Ali while Sofia walked and Jason carried the stroller up the stairs. We went into the museum and all the toys are in glass cases which is great since then I didn't have to keep saying, "don't touch". The kids loved seeing the old toys.... dolls, wooden animals, trains, planes, stuffed animals. I kept wondering where the Barbie Dolls where though since I had seen a sign about the Barbie exhibit. I gave up and thought that maybe the sign was old so we decided to leave. As we were heading out the door we saw the sign that the Barbie exhibit was upstairs. This should have been my first clue that there was a lot of Barbies'. We go up one floor and there they are in multiple rooms..hundreds of Barbie Dolls! I had no idea there were so many Barbie Dolls in existence. Seeing them all together like that you actually noticed differences between the dolls. Maybe people notice that anyway but I never did (granted I played with soccer balls and basketballs much more than I played with Barbie Dolls). Anyway, the Barbie Dolls actually had differnet shaped faces - some with full cheeks, some with sharper cheek bones, full lips, thin lips, different shape eyes. It was interesting to see. I think I might have enjoyed that more than the girls. :)
