The Museum of Contemporary Art

Today was Family Day at the MCA and families got in free.  And honestly that is why I wanted to check it out.  I didn't really think that it would all that awesome, but I knew there was a park right across the street so I figured if you guys weren't into it, we would just play at the park and walk around downtown for a few hours.  Win win.  BUT...It was really cool and you guys totally dug it.  We will definitely go back once a month for each new "theme".  This one was Play and when we walked in they gave us this pamphlet with all the things to do and stickers for you guys to check off as you do.  They even provided free snacks in a "chill out" room.

"Look at that big head Mommy!"

I didn't get a picture of Aria doing this "project" but there was tape all on the floor and you picked a card that told you what to do out of a jar.  Yours said walk only on the blue tape and you did.

Rock garden chase

You got a piece of paper the size of your child for this project and as soon as we put in down, Aria wanted to help me trace you.  You obliged.

Tracing very nicely

The lady in charge of this activity loved how into you were and she made it rain leaves on you over and over.  It was adorable.  

This picture doesn't do these fish justice.  They are huge.  Their tails and heads come completely out of the water at times and they were as long as my forearm.  

All these photo bombing kids with their "having fun" didn't let me get a good shot of this balloon and noise maker station against the city background.  

Dad make you this costume at the dress up station but the elastic was kind of tight so you wouldn't wear it.  You put it on for literally one minute and this is the one (out of focus) shot I got.  

"I'M BATMAN!"

November's "theme" is Dig and I'm excited to see what kind of stations they come up with.  Next time, we will eat lunch sooner and hopefully be sickness free and we can stay longer.
