The Children's Museum

The Wheeler-Kay-Cohens recommended the Chagall installation at the Children's Museum, so we we went for it. It was definitely worth the trip. The museum is always cool, but with the addition of Chagall, it was better yet. (I'll take Marc Chagall over Clifford the Big Red Dog nine days out of ten.) The best part of the interactive painting exhibit was the simplest: painting! Elizabeth straddled the straddling easel and busted out an awesome tree painting. Daddy and Suzanne collaborated on an abstract piece in brown, purple, and blue.

Elizabeth painting, Chagall-style. Tell me that's not awesome!

Suzanne loved the water current table. One could put in the blue or yellow barriers to direct the flow of the stream, then loose an armada of ducks. It was surprising and super fun. Designed correctly, the stream would send ducks around crazy corners, send them upstream, avoid backwaters, and all sorts of other interesting hydrodynamic peculiarities.
