December's Visit from Grandpa & Grandma

It had been a while since my parents visited.  So it was extra special.  It was 'Grandparents Day' at school, spring cleaning and handy-man service all in one package!

Here we are enjoying a fancy adult dinner...


Judah receiving his birthday gift from Grandpa & Grandma- a soccor/hockey goal...

My Dad soaking up my little one...

We took a field trip with them to the American Museum of Natural History, and almost got eaten by a bear's skull...

Neat place, with plenty of animals to 'observe' real close!

Now, how old is that tree?

Eating lunch in the school room...
 

The polar bear was one the kids' favorites...

In the background is an impressive model of a great blue whale, but it's too difficult to see in the picture...

That's quite a tusk!

The African mammal room was another highlight...

Since were studying Native Americans last fall, we let the kids take their own pictures of some of the displays.  Here's a wigwam model...

And we ended our trip gazing at the mighty dinosaurs.  What fun imagining Adam & Eve riding on one of these giant creatures.  So what do you think: will dinosaurs be in heaven?  The kids would like to know.
