April Vacation

We did a lot of fun stuff over April Vacation.

On Monday we saw a movie. Sad to say, this is the kind of experience we've become accustomed to...popcorn, stuffed animals, fully reclining seats. We are spoiled!





On Tuesday, we went to the MFA with some friends.



We learned about pointillism...



...and did some wood block printing.







The results were very cool!





All that serious art making deserved a trip to the park to get the wiggles out!



On Wednesday, we took Elmo to the Aquarium to see the fish and meet some friends.





Afterwards, Maddy needed to play basketball. She's still having withdrawals from the (very sad) end to the NCAA tournament.



On Friday we stayed close to home and went to storyhour at the library.



And then later,  Maddy wanted to try to play tennis. This was fun for me too though, so I love that she seems to have caught the bug!



And finally, on Saturday I gave a presentation on architecture to Maddy's Girl Scout troop and led the kids in a design project. This is Maddy' design for a whale house. It's "big and cozy".



I think we had the right mix of outings and downtime...it was a great week!
