Art in Bloom...

Sometime in March I did all kinds of research to find a ton of free to mostly free events that we can go to. I added all these fun things to my goggle calendar so we could always have an adventure waiting, if we should happen to get a little bore. One of these events was the Minnesota Institute of Art's "Art in Bloom".

Friday morning the little misters and I packed a picnic lunch and headed out the door to arrive a little early. Auntie Mick and sons were able to tag along. Auntie Mick LOVES all things art & flowers. It just so happens that she studied and worked with both for years. Plus the boys love listening to her talk about everything she knows. 

 

 

We walked around the museum finding the displays and taking pictures. Eventually Auntie Mick had to leave so we walked out to the car with them to eat our lunches. Then I asked the boys if they wanted to go back to inside or go home. They decided a longer adventure day sounded exciting, so we stayed.

We walked around the rest of the museum and found their favorite art pieces. Oliver loved this "Theseus combating the minotaur" statue. He's all about Greek mythology these days.

Lucius loved the car.

Soon as we ran out of museum to look through we went across the street to the green space there. The boys let me take a few brother photos.

 
Then I said "lets go to the park". As we got back to the car I realized I had locked my keys inside the car when we had lunch. Big bummer. Thank goodness we have an extra set and Auntie Em was willing to drive to our house, pick them up and drive down to help us out. As long as she was out, they followed us over to the new playground to join us.

 

 
We all played happily till it was finally time to head home. What a long fun adventure day!
