Mailbox Mondays
Happy Monday everyone. It's Monday at that means, time to get back to the grind...oh well. I've been devouring a book called Undone by Karen Slaughter. This book is wonderful so far, a fast paced crime thriller. At over 400 pages, I am breezing through it. I have about 120 pages to go.
In the mail this week: A Circle of Souls by Preetham Grandhi
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. With the murderer on the loose, the police desperately look for any clues to lead to his identy. Meanwhile, a psychiatrist in a nearby hospital is also in a desperate search to find the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings s devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope. When these two situations converge, they set off an alarming chain of events. In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
As I posted recently, we took the kids to the Museum of Natural History in New York. We really enjoyed the visit, there was so much to see and it's really amazing when you stop to look at all the displays and artifacts, the history behind it all.
Here's a few photos:
I took these from the car, as we crossed the George Washington Bridge.
Outside the museum:
The displays were so realistic, these animals looked like they were going to walk right out.
The African displays were my favorite.
These are some of the different costumes that the tribes wear.
A few headdresses:
I found this absolutly fascinating, relics from the Holy War in North Africa during the 7th Century:
As I said, there was so much to see...heres a few more...
This was creepy, this is an actual head! From a culture called the 'Paracas'. Yikes!
Another favorite...the dinosaurs...
A Mammonth...we got to see Mammoth fur that was over 10,000 years old, which I thought was very cool, but my kids were just like 'yeah whatever mom' lol.
So, that's all. Thanks for sticking around and checking out the photos. Have a great day. What are you reading?
