The British Museum revisited
January 21st, 2010 Posted in Family, Homeschooling, TravelsThe kids and I always take a camera, sketchbooks, and pencils along to the museums we visit. Here is Emma drawing images from the side of this item. She argues that it’s a bath tub, but it’s really for burial. But it has scenes from the Jonah story all over it, so I decided not to contest her four year-old logic.
A very cool snake sculpture, if you like that sort of thing, which is displayed with a mirror underneath it so that you can see the coiled detail from the bottom as well. Jonathan really liked it.
All the personalities are coming out on this picture. This is a remake of the Rosetta stone. The kids were fascinated with it because we use the Rosetta Stone language courses for our second language.
By this point Emma has had it, Hannah’s hanging in there, Jonathan thinks this is so cool, Caleb is still not ready to call it a day, and Pete just joined us and is smiling nicely for the picture and then reaching for his Blackberry.

Oh no, is Pete doing that too now? I never thought I’d see the day. Tell him that if he wants to look spiffy for his clients, then he had better tighten that tie
I hear that you will be back sooner than expected. I hope to see you then. All the best,
