Teleporting to the Museum

Caleb has advanced to Bear in Cub Scouts. And that means more family activities. It's actually easier in some ways because we do most of the stuff anyway throughout the year. I had planned a photo scavenger hunt to one of the museums we visit on a fairly regular basis. But the kids through up a revolt and protested. (We'll do it later.)

The boys just wanted to sit at home and play Minecraft, ALL DAY LONG! It was a beautiful day, warm, sunny, and just plain nice. So Rob convinced the boys that at the art museum they had installed a fixture that would actually teleport them. They had to be careful though so they didn't end up with the dragons.

Off we went to the art museum. We mostly visited the African, Egyptian and Ancient Rome galleries and didn't wander into the Romantics (my favorites).  Then we went outside to look at the outdoor installations. The willow house that used to be there is no longer. I miss it. We hiked around and got lost (not really) and had a great time.

This next week is a big week. 100 days of school, Valentine's day and possible snow. Again. Jacob doesn't want it snow simply so he can do his celebrations. The other two don't want to go to school. Right now the forecast is jumping all over the place, and we shall see what actually happens again. I'm prepared for the storm, so we'll eat if it snows or if it doesn't. And in the end that's all that really matters. The term ice has been mentioned. I don't mind ice as long as I don't lose power. So here's hoping, we don't lose power.

Have a great week!
