For the most part, it was a pretty laid back visit. We did take him to Crystal Bridges, the local, free art museum. There are a lot of neat pieces to look at, but we/I forgot that it can be hard on the kiddos. I think we all had a good time, though.

The girls enjoyed looking at this piece with waves, "Along the Shore" by William Trost Richards.
I know I've mentioned it on Facebook before, but i can't remember if I've mentioned here on the blog, that the girls are very good at recognizing what is modest and what is not. There were several statues, including the one below, that were not modest. Rachel was especially quick to point out the immodest statues. They were, however, fascinated by the ball that this statue was holding.
We tried to keep the girls close. Rachel liked holding Monte's hand.
To keep the girls moving, we kept telling them we were looking for Pinocchio. We finally found him. I don't think Rachel was very impressed.
A very impressive piece, "Man on a Bench," by Duane Hanson. It really looked like a man was sitting there. Some of our party really thought it was a man at first.

For some reason, Rachel saw this piece, "Cello Player" by David Smith and said it was Daddy. I don't quite see the resemblance, but it made us all chuckle.
The girls loved it when they could see the pond in the middle of the museum.
By the pond, there's an outdoor area where people can walk around or sit. There was this piece that the girls called the "ant." They wanted to see the ant the whole time. Before leaving, we finally visited the ant. It made them, and especially Allie, very happy.
A happy Allie on the "ant"
