The Natural History Museum and a Visit from Grammie and Grandpa

We had a great week this week. The highlights: a visit to the Natural History Museum and a visit from Grammie and Grandpa Ward for Grammie's birthday. At the Natural History Museum, Millie was very taken with a bejewelled, three-sided dagger from ancient Tibet that was said to be poisonous and to exorcise demons. As we were walking away, she asked, "Mom, why did they do poisonous exercises?" Abby liked the little golden statues and rushed to the display cases exclaiming, "Oh how gohjus (gorgeous)!" We then played in the water park outside of the museum with some friends from the ward, whom the girls get along with famously. With Grammie and Grandpa, we had a great time eating Chinese food, taking an evening stroll through the city, playing and having a picnic in Central Park, shopping on 5th Avenue, and just having fun together. We were sad to see them go!
