Have you heard...

of the Heard Museum?(where do i come up with this stuff?) We went there on Sunday. Caitie isn't old enough to appreciate it, but it was a nice outing; she seemed to enjoy herself, especially the 'Icy Arctic Tundra' exhibit. Michael and I both went to the Heard Museum when we were in grade school, but I don't remember much about it. Michael said that it's changed quite a bit over the years. There wasn't a whole lot to it, but it is interesting, and I love the architecture. Here are a few pics...

This was an interesting piece of art. I have no idea what it's supposed to be, but thought it made a nice background for a quick family pic. I didn't take the time to read what each exhibit and display was. We need to go back and let the tour guide explain it all to us. This isn't the best pic, Caitie has her eyes closed, but decided to display it anyway since I look halfway decent(albeit chunky) for once. ha



Caitie is sitting near a piece of art; I couldn't tell you what it is, all I noticed was that she was in a cute pose, so I snapped a quick pic. ha

She liked this canoe. It was a nice photo op.





Love the architecture, ceiling/lighting, and the painted murals on the wall.



I like Indian pottery and baskets.



There was a place to make flowers with pink craft paper and green pipe cleaners. Michael made three of them, and redid mine since I'm craft impaired. ha It was a nice bouquet for Caitie to carry around. (such a thoughtful dad)

This is the 'Icy Arctic Tundra' exhibit. Caitie loved this area and kept wanting to go back. There are two felt boards to play with, and the 'icy' part of the exhibit was a bit slippery, so she liked to slide and dance around on it.



This is out in the courtyard area.





We took a chance and went in the gift shop. Caitie liked this mountain goat; it was too big for her to sneak out of the store. ha



Most everything in the store was high-priced, which was no surprise.
