Family time at the museum

Well, Saturday we decided to spend some time together at the Columbus Museum of Art participating in the 1st Saturday program. The March program focused on ancient Egypt. First we visited the To Live Forever exhibit and played an object match-up game. Then we got to make a clay canopic jar. Actually, Mackenzie, Zack, and Jay made jars. Cassie didn't want to so she took pictures, and I used some of the leftover clay to make a small pot. After the jars were made, we watched the 8th Floor Improv Group.

We made a day of it, so instead of rushing back home so Cassie and I could deliver the weekend shopper bags, we went out for lunch and then checked out our new Target store.

Here Mackenzie is working with her air dry clay.

Zack worked quickly on the bottom of his canopic jar.




Mackenzie wanted a tall skinny base, so she started over with the bottom of her jar.
I think Jay was having as much, if not more fun than the kids.
Mackenzie shows off her giraffe.
And Zack with the top to his canopic jar, which is an elephant.
Nice job guys. It was nice to spend a Saturday with family instead of being consumed with delivering.
