BYU Museum of Art

A couple of weeks ago I took the kids on a field trip to the BYU Museum of Art. There was an "I Spy" exhibit and the museum had lots of fun things for the kids to keep them entertained. Zach and Haylee were the only ones to join us on this field trip. Lauren was sick so Jordan (how sweet) offered to stay home with her (and play the Wii!). Elizabeth had pre-school and plus, I am a mean mom and hate taking (very) little kids to a museum.

The project below that Zach is working on was something you could build and then blow bubbles through it. We were both having a really hard time making the pieces stay together. Zach was insistent that he do it. But after about 20 minutes of it breaking over and over again he gave up (with my pushing him too). He was really upset that he couldn't do it. I felt so bad for him. (But not bad enough to sit there for an hour til the dumb pieces decided to stay together.)

Haylee felt bad for him and tried to cheer him up.After getting her face painted of course! (This is serious business, don't smile.)
Decorating Cookies!
Eating cookies! (with Savannah and Jackson)
One of the pieces of "artwork" in the museum that day was 3 blowers and a pile of packing peanuts. The 3 blowers were pointed toward the pile of peanuts that were sitting in the corner of a room. Every few minutes the blowers turned on and blew the peanuts up into the air. I think this was the kid's favorite part of the whole trip! It WAS pretty cool.

We went back in April. Its a great exhibit and museum. The boys had so much fun there. They collect all of Walter Wicks books. The added bonus is they earned their collecting belt loop in scouts for going.
