2017 Art in Bloom...

It's become a little family tradition to ditch school on The Friday that the Minneapolis Institute of Art has its Art in Bloom event. We go, enjoy finding the flowers and seeing all the art that we remembered seeing previous years. I'm not a huge museum person but I love this event because its exciting to turn a corner and find yet another beautiful flower display. The flowers mimic a specific art piece and that makes both a little more interesting to me. On their own I could probably take them or leave them, but together they intrigue me.

Lucius completed a scavenger hunt. Part of it was to draw two faces he found in the museum. He diligently worked at it.

This was a bunch of algae growing in bags hanging from the ceiling.

Lucius found his little favorite spot at a chess table.

When I asked them to take a picture this is what I got. For the most part they had fun and I let them lead me around wherever they wanted to go. But the one time I asked for a photo by this painting- and the 2 seconds no one was near us- these are the faces they gave me.

 

After the museum we went out to eat at Pot Belly's in Dinkytown and had cookies from a nearby bakery.

Then stopped off at a park. This one is an old favorite of ours but has recently had a makeover since our last visit. Pretty fun to play on a brand new playground.

All in all a fantastic day to ditch school and spend time with the little misters.
