In and out of Museum of Natural History

A cold morning that it was with temperature dropping to -2C (28F) we headed for our last farmers market trip. Sonia was all bundled up and happy to get out of the apartment. I love this civil war memorial arch... wars are inevitable and this is a sad reminder of differences we all face.

Then we took ourselves on an adventure... riding subway on Saturday to the Natural History Museum. Some of the lines were closed so it took Jeremy's ingenuity to figure out how to get there.Sonia's joy and exploration were enough to make this trip worth the effort ;-) She ran from one diorama to the other... naming animals and making all sorts of meows and barks.

The North American wild life was her favourite. I think she recognized most of the animals here.

It took encouragement and help from papa to get a little bit closer to the elephant family. They are big after all and little bit scary.

Sonia figured out a way to squeeze in between the railings and get closer to her objects or full admiration.

"Twit, twits!" They are African kind of its species.

Turkey day is coming up! We found two turkeys hiding in this display. Sonia saw them and exclaimed "Gobble, gobble, gobble!"

It is hard to see them but they are really there, just take a closer look.I love how old exhibits there are filled with love for animal world and beauty. It is easy to see change of scientific views and lack of faith in the later ones.
