Mother's Day

This is my present. Miriam and Alice picked it out for me on a visit to the Smithsonian. I bet they are cooking something for Evelyn this morning! Such thoughtful little girls. I'm so pleased with it that I posted it on all 3 blogs.

Globe Puzzle



Over the weekend we worked an amazing puzzle: a globe with 540 pieces. Alice began with me, and we started sorting the pieces, which are numbered from the bottom up. (Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her working on it.) Miriam did the final assembly which required very skillful steady hands. She was really patient and succeeded in getting the very difficult last pieces into place.

 

IMAX Theater


Sunday we went to the Smithsonian Natural History museum. Miriam, Alice, Evelyn, and Tom went to the butterfly exhibit while we went to a display from a nature photography contest. Later, we went to the IMAX theater to see a film about the Galapagos Islands.

Soon we will be in the Galapagos for real!
