This week’s field trip—the Art Museum in the Big City.
We’ve been to our local art museum many times. With its few rooms, it does the job, but it doesn’t quite have the impact of an urban art museum.
So we rounded up a wiggly bunch of kids and headed south. Complete with pillars, a grand entrance, and paintings with gilded frames, the kids got to visit the museum. We had excellent docents who took us through the rooms, sat us down and looked for shapes and colors. The kids were amazingly well behaved.
I'm not sure how much they understood, but I’m thrilled at the thought that they were there. Immersed in it all, I saw Neko smiling. She excitedly told me about what she saw and asked if we could come back.
You bet.
