Yesterday the MOMs club went to a special kids event at the Dennos Museum. We started out exploring the gallery they have especially for kids. There are lots of cool things to touch and see and things that made noise. Then we headed into an gallery with lots of local photographs and had a scavenger hunt, trying to find all different things in the pictures. Alex really seemed to enjoy that part. Next we went outside and were led on a little walk around the grounds where we found some of the same things from the photographs and also got to check out the sculptures that are around the building. Some of them you can walk thru and climb on.
Back inside there was a little story time and then we made windsocks. On the body of the windsock the kids were suppose to draw something they saw that day. It was the first time Alex ever really tried to draw something specific and could tell me what it was. He drew a circle and that was one of the tunnels in the sculpture he walked thru, he told me. Then he drew some dots that were gravel and some lines that he said was the path that we walked on.
By the time we were done at the museum it was almost noon and getting pretty hot outside already. We had packed a picnic lunch so we headed over to the beach. Some friends came to the beach too and then they all made some more friends there. It's funny to watch how kids have to check out everyone else's sand toys!
We finally headed home around 3pm. Alex slept for about half an hour in the car. It was still so nice outside that we ate our dinner outside that night and then worked on our garden for a little while. Tuesday night Ben had dug up the whole area to turn the soil over well. Then last night he went back and dug thru our compost pile and found some good stuff on the bottom and brought buckets of it up front. Alex was "helping"
