We went to Mendocino this weekend with Roger and Sheila and the kids. It's whale watching season up there and the telescope store in town has a whole row of telescopes set up to look out the store window to the harbor across the street. We spent a few minutes in the store and Annabel asked if she could get a magnifying glass. It's a slightly modernized version of the class Sherlock Holmes type deal. It even came with a small black case that covers the lens for safe-keeping.
Annabel rushed out of the store, took off the case and began inspecting the sidewalk for "clues". Suspicious looking flowers, sidewalk cracks and cigarette butts drew special attention. Luckily there were no ants around, so we didn't need to have that particular conversation.
Gaby, not wanting to be left out of the fun grabbed the black case and started to inspect the same areas that Annabel was examining, but with the opaque case, which should would hold up to here eye and "look through" just like here sister was doing with the actual magnifying glass. Here are a few shots of the detectives in action.
