Visit to the ROM

This week I went with my mom and dad to Toronto to see the dead sea scrolls at the Royal Ontario Museum. It was pretty cool- but the pieces of the scrolls were super small. Its kinda crazy to think that its someones job to put all those little scraps together and then try to read the microscopic writing.

The ROM is actually a huge place so we also went to see some china that mom was into and the 10 commandments. For Ella, we got to meet some dinosaurs. She looks relatively unimpressed in these pictures- but I think she was just taking it all in- that and wishing she could touch stuff and walk around.

Honestly her favorite part was probably watching people come out of the elevators and giggling at them...



It was a long trip there and back.





The ride was pretty boring- lots of traffic. Part of the conversation in the car was about how my parents think Obama is going to take away all our toilet paper by 2011. I laughed at them at first- and found this link when I got home- If Obama really wanted to cut down on toilet paper use, he should crack down on the Metamucil and probiotic yogurt industry- those commercials freak me out anyway.








At the gift shop we found a "o-snap" trash bin- someday when I have money, I'll have to get a bunch for my "Oh Snap" office.



























The best part of this week was that on Thursday- Ella finally walked! This video is actually about the third time she took steps- but its one of the first times joe had ever seen it.
