American Museum of Natural History


Yesterday we all had one last adventure in New York. Because everyone is sick, we nixed the original plan for the Bronx Zoo and headed up to the Natural History Museum instead. Dave had never been, and for me it had been years; Clio has been talking about dinosaurs lately; and Thursday night we had dinner at a restaurant just down the street, so it ended up seeing like the obvious choice.


Both girls got some hands on action: Clio turned a penny into a souvenir penny, complete with engraving of a wooly mammoth skeleton


and in the Frogs exhibit, Eleri was all about pushing the buttons of every machine that made noise or pictures.


Clio contemplated the scale of the dinosaurs (or maybe she's counting her fingers- the dinosaur hand only had three)


But ultimately she was not impressed. After seeing this huge skeleton, she asked "when do we see the really, really big dinosaurs?"


Maybe this kid belongs in New York after all.
