Museum of Fine Art

One of my personal goals this year is to have some one-on-one time with Olivia.  The Museum of Fine Art has a family day on the 3rd Saturday each month.  Today we went and tried it out.

First the museum staff instructs us to head upstairs to the small Egypt room.  It was fascinating looking at their small collection.  Once we looked there, we headed down to the classroom where we each were given a real piece of papyrus.  Olivia greatly enjoys art and took a great deal of time on her picture.  As you can see above she made a "swirly sky."  The black are the clouds, green below is the grass and the brilliant yellow and magenta sun.

For the remainder of the day Olivia has been talking about Ancient Egypt and asking questions like if they had pianos or what kinds of instruments they played.  What kind of food did they eat and why they buried their kings in the pyramids.  I love seeing her to excited about learning!
