Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Today was Family Day at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and Highpoint was there helping kids with printing. My kids had a grand time making them.

Final Products:

Then it was time for the “I Spy” scavenger hunt through the second and third floors of the museum, which was quite a walk.  Helena knows the museum very well, even posing in front of her favorite painting and with a mask that was one of the pieces she remembers from school. “Oooo…we learned about this in Art Works, too!”

After that we ate cheese and crackers at Lake of the Isles. The kids spent over an hour throwing rocks in the lake and playing with the duck, including chasing them which made Ada crack up. Ada eventually had to go to the bathroom so we had to go home or else we might have been there all night.

While they were sitting by this very large tree, some ladies told me that they were very nice kids (since Helena was talking to them) and encouraged me to take a photo. By then I had about ten of them.
