There are few things that make children happier than a toy store.
So on Friday afternoon, Angelina Jolie decided to make her sons ecstatic with a trip to the very best one – FAO Schwarz in New York City.
The 37-year-old mother treated sons Pax Thien and Knox Leon to an afternoon stocking up on all the toys they wanted.
Not
ready for my closeup! As Angelina Jolie left her hotel in New York City
on Friday, son Pax grimaced and immediately tried to shield his face
from cameras
Both children were thrilled to be
shopping the aisles of the oldest toy store in the United States, but
Pax simply could not contain his excitement.The eight-year-old appeared to be bounding around the toy store, happy and smiling under a cap and old-fashioned flying goggles.
His younger brother Knox, age four, looked at all the goodies around him with eyes full of wonderment.

Tomb Raider star Angelina kept a close eye on her boys, but let them have their fun in the famed toy store.The actress looked elegant in a long, black trench coat that was belted in leather at the waist.
Tall boots carried her throughout the shopping trip, and her enviable pout was the only part of her face that was exposed, as she shielded her eyes under a pair of aviator sunglasses.

At
one point during their toy excursion, they took a close look at
something in the science section – a sure sign that Angelina wants her
kids to have fun but also engage their growing minds.The good-willed mother recently returned from a mission in Rwanda, where she laid wreaths at the Gisozi genocide memorial in the capital, Kigali, at the end of March.
She joined UK Foreign Secretary William Hague in her capacity as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.
'This visit is about hearing first hand from people who have endured rape and sexual violence during the conflict in the eastern DRC,' Angelina said.
'We want to learn the lessons that their experience holds for how the world can protect thousands of women, men and children at risk of rape in many other conflict zones.
'And we want to persuade governments around the world to give this issue the attention it deserves.’
