Trip to the Art Museum

This weekend was designated a mini-vacation from house project time--no trips to Home Depot, no conversations about lighting layout, and no distracted conversations with the cabinet guy.
Instead, we took a little trip with our buddies Sophie and Paige to the Rutger Art Museum for a breakneck-speed view of the artwork (so much room to run!) and a long pitstop at the floor height window at the top of the stairwell to check out all the cars (I don't care how famous you are, you aren't as exciting as the real, moving world).

Paige was particularly fond of the art installation involving pushing a button that started lights moving on a screen, so we all had to sit and admire the "moving colors". Sophie was insanely excited by bold, bright colored art in the Pop Art exhibit. Callum just liked telling Sophie and Paige "no touching" because he had already broken the rule so many times. He also started an exaggerated move that involved craning his neck and bugging out his eyes to prove he was "looking". They all enjoyed the children's art exhibit but only because it involved colored pencils for drawing and a child sized rocking chair. It was more than worth the museum's $3 admission fee!
