I am watching a documentary on the Roman Empire while I blog, so I am not going to type much about what we did on Thursday. I let the girls skip school and took everyone to the Aviary, the Chase Home Museum of Folk Art, and Liberty Park to play. On the way home I ordered Thai take out, gave everyone a long bath, and got the kids ready for bed. By the end I was so tired that I crawled into bed at 7:30 pm and slept on and off for an hour and a half while Abe and I watched art documentaries, and then I fell asleep for good before 9pm.
Here are the pictures:
The picnic above was quite fun. Ammon left the table shortly after this to introduce himself to people and make friends. Lydia shyly followed him around to make sure he didn’t run away while I cleaned up.
The highlight of the Aviary was the bird show. I didn’t get any pictures because I was firmly holding Clarissa and Ammon, who were not allowed to walk around because the birds flew RIGHT over our heads. Our favorite birds were the bright pink spoonbills.
Then we walked over to the Chase Home Museum of Folk Arts. I spent most of our time here chasing Clarissa around and making sure Ammon didn’t break anything, but I LOVED the museum. It is so small, intimate, kid-friendly, and all around well done. I can’t believe we’ve never visited before.
Lydia worked on origami while Mary worked on the felt rugs.
After the museum, the kids played in the park for an hour. Mary was sad because she felt left out, but I think she was just tired after such a big day.
