Woodbury Art Museum- Sept. 24, 2016

You would never know it but their is a small art museum located right in the university mall.

Hagen needed to finish his "Art Explosion" project for webelos and the last thing he needed to do to complete this was to go to an art museum.

It was a cold and rainy morning so we hopped in the car and went to the "Woodbury Art Museum" and then walked around the mall.

The museum and selfie stations set up to take pictures reflecting different times.

 The kids couldn't believe that people would have carried a stereo on there shoulders.

 We put a nylon over the lens to get the old school picture look.

 The kids especially liked the 70's pad.

It was fun but now we are off to explore the mall.

Sept. 11, 2016- Family Pictures

I normally wait until the last minute to take pictures but then they don't always turn out so well.

This year we did them early.  What a relief and it was nice that it wasn't cold while we took them.

This little guy loves to pee in the bushes

He hasn't quite perfected how to pee without dropping everything to the ground.
