MLK Weekend

The kids didn't have school today so Anna, Emily, and their chilluns went to a movie and then came by for a visit. Katy convinced them (the boys weren't so sure) that they should go to the MOA to see Dan Steinhilber's installation made from all kinds of everyday stuff. The kids (and adults) really loved the exhibit. Katy also gave the kids an explanation and quick tour of the Japanese woodcut show. Everyone genuinely enjoyed the art experience! Afterward we went to Springville to La Casita where they saved us a big table for 12. Katy was going to treat Courtney to dinner for her recent birthday and they elected to join us. The evening finished with games back at home. It was a fun way to kick off the MLK holiday weekend.

Museum goers filled with anticipation

The photo doesn't do it justice, but this scintilating
piece is made will jillions of packets of Chinese
duck sauce and is curiously called "Duck Sauce."

Katy's expression isn't comensurate with
her happy museum mood

One never grows tired of #39 with verde sauce:
chile relleno and a pork enchilada

La Casita was Lu's request; I'm always game

Emily, Lizzy, and Max

Lovely ladies

Max explains the rules for Harry Potter Clue

Grammy and Clara read lots of books . . .
and posed

That's all for now.

I find this title ironic because sure it might be Martin Luther King's weekend... but his day doesn't even get here until Monday... so I feel like it should be MLK eveish weekend. Other than the clearly misleading title, it was a lot of fun to go to the museum with everyone. I really love his pieces! Thanks for coming everyone!
