Springville Art Museum Field Trip

Today went went on a field trip to the Springville Art Museum. It was SO COOL! I can't believe we've never gone until now. Admission is free, and our tour guide was awesome! She had the kids really interested in the art work by telling them things that would appeal to them about it, and by giving them breaks to look around on their own in between her explanations paintings.

The museum also had an exhibit up called Portraits of Childhood, and some fun hands-on activities for kids to go along with it.

Our favorite exhibit was Beyond Memory: The Daydreams of Corinne Geertsen

A sometimes humorous, always insightful collection of pictures assembled digitally from photos of ancestors creating surreal and quirky visual narratives about psychological predicaments. Watch for odd juxtapositions, non sequiturs, and the possible element of surprise. 

The kids got to take copies of the original photograph and walk around the room and try to find the matching finished product by Corinne. It was cool. My kids had a ball.

School Days...

Wynter and I have been History and Science-ing up a storm. I just haven't posted about it. We studied the Great Plains tribes in Native American Cultures this week. The kids each made tipis. It was short and sweet, and still fun. :)

Wynter has been doing some fun things with the moon the last few weeks, including the phases of the moon in Oreos. Yum!

And, Adelia's preschool class went on a fieldtrip to the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum. The boys and Rue and I tagged along.

This is Adelia and her buddy Brynlie. They are so cute, whenever they see each other they run together and give each other a hug. How did I ever get to be raising such a girl? Haha! I hate hugging people. But whatev...Del's all over it. :)
