New Yawk

We made a family trip to new York a couple weeks ago to see Carey and Joanie and take in the sights. Here is a picture of the kids fooling around on the mosaic sculpture outside Grant's Tomb:

The highlight of the weekend was probably the performance of "The 39 Steps" that we saw on Saturday. It was hilarious-- very spare set and minimal cast, but wonderfully funny. While driving in the car the other day, the kids had fun trying to re-enact one of the scenes in which a particular cast member is trying to play three roles all at once (with switches every 2-3 seconds, accompanied by a hat change).
