Wednesday we went to the Museum of Fine Arts. I learned a couple valuable lessons: first, the train parking lot is usually full by 9am. We parked at Ben's office and then walked 15 minutes in the cold wind [I love walking myself, but understand Vera isn't quite as excited and poor Edie just had the wind freezing her little cheeks]. Second, don't always trust your iphone GPS!!! It led us on foot about 3/4 of a mile in the wrong direction after we'd got off the train. The girls were troopers, especially as we took a little detour to Panera to get chocolate milk. Anyway, it was all worth it! We had a lot of fun with all the special craft activities they had set up for vacation week.
Pouring paint:
"tape tricks"
Edie thought this statue from Congo looked like Abedibia (Amelia Bedelia :)
Vera recognized having learned about this statue from her class in Nevada!
obviously their favorite exhibit:

Monday we went to the Science museum with the McCoys. It was enormous with so many interesting exhibits. I imagine it will be even better as they get older. The view was so pretty:
Thursday we went to our local library for a little craft. This is the historic wing built by a famous architect [don't ask me who :)] It is a nice library, but to be honest, I think we had the best in Salt Lake!!
