Lyric Lane: Art Museum

My friend Tiffany came into town last weekend and spent the night with us. She has a little boy (James) and he had a blast playing with Lyric and Lane. Saturday we just went to the little park in our neighborhood and grilled out some steaks. Sunday, we had some breakfast then headed to the OKC Muesum of Art for Family Fun Day. It was a great time. We started at the museum where the boys were able to create some "fresco" paintings- basically watercolors on plaster- Lane had so much fun painting- of course after about 10 minutes, he started trying to stick the paitbrush in his mouth- but we got a really beautiful creation out of him first. After the painting, we stepped outside for the "parade"- which consisted on 1 man in a gladiator costume on a horse. Not much of a parade- but we were able to meet up with Kyle and Colin while we were out there.
From the "parade" we went over to the library where we first watched a puppet show- supposedly a spin-off of Homer's Odessey- it was pretty good. From there we went to a sculpting class and then a mosaics class- the kids were so good and really liked participating in all the activities. Before we left the library, the boys had to have their faces painted- don't even ask me what Lyric was thinking....
We tried to view the exhibit at the museum- I was just not very comfortable looking at sculpture and atrifacts from 50 A.D. with a 4 year old skipping around and a 1 year old screaming (arched back and all) in a stroller- it seemed to take some of the magic and beauty from it. So...Jason and i are going back Friday to view the exhibit and spend some time on the roof. Should be great.
