Art!

We made it to another Family Fun Day at the art museum! The theme this time was "Merry Making" so the kids constructed hats/crowns, noisemakers and spinners and also learned about art conservation! We spent a lot of time in the new interactive/kids area and then looked around a little before we got some lunch (mac n cheese, turkey melt and flatbread pizzas) and dessert (cookies and an amazing fruit tart). We split up for the second half of the visit so Paige could do one more craft that Owen wasn't interested in and everyone could hit the spots they wanted. Eventually we had to leave to get Paige to soccer but we'll be back soon to hit the spots we missed!

Fun on the steps! The museum was pretty empty at this point.

Owen was fascinated by the cushions:) and Paige found a painting she liked!

Owen and Paige "made" some pottery in the kids area. 

We were the first people at the craft tables! Owen made a crown and Paige chose a wide-brimmed hat.

The kids learned about conservation and why it's important not to touch the artwork. They also learned how to make their own qtips which they really enjoyed!

Paige also liked this piece of art.

One more picture on the way out! Even the hallway to the parking garage looks nice:)
