Grammy and Gramps Visit

Toby's parents came to visit over the weekend. It is wonderful that they are so close (in Jakarta), that they can just pop in for a few days. We had a lot of fun. We went to the Chinese and Japanese Gardens, a Da Vinci exhibit at the Science Centre, and out to eat at a dumpling place near our house. Here are some pictures from the gardens:

Grammy and Elyse walking across a bridge in the Japanese Gardens.

Gramps and Elyse in the Chinese Gardens by Guan Yu who was a great general in the late 100- early 200's.

Elyse with Grammy and Gramps in one of the pagodas.

Elyse sitting on a rooster in the zodiac garden (can't remember the real name). She was born in the year of the pig, but the rooster was easier to sit on :)
