Art Museum!

Our art museum is amazing. They have made some major improvements in the last few years and that, coupled with the kids getting older, means we get to enjoy our visits there a little more every time we go.Our most recent visit happened on a whim. I found out that the museum was having a family day with a Chinese New Year theme so we ditched our plans to do errands. We spent some time on crafts, some time in the interactive kids section and then browsed the galleries (guided by a scavenger hunt pamphlet from the museum). Paige was getting tired and I thought we might have to leave but instead we got a treat from the cafe and she rallied. Paige and I headed upstairs to the modern art and Pat and Owen explored the ancient artifacts.

The treats! Blood orange macaron, chocolate cupcake, fruit-filled scone.

This is an interactive game in the kid's area where they show you pictures of artwork and you have to identify which ones contain a specific object

This is usually the sign that it's time to leave...
