Family Home Evening

Since our schedules are so different than the average family we decided to start doing family home evenings on Friday's. Yesterday was our first one and we had a total blast! Mike and I really enjoy art and the local Museum's current exhibit was pretty cool. Luckily enough the artist that is exhibiting came and presented in one of Mike's art seminar classes. So Mike knew all about the artist and the pieces that were displayed.

The artist is Dan Steinhilber and his work is very fun for your imagination. Some of the pieces displayed were huge and so cool to look at. There was one piece that was made entirely out of balloons, a gigantic hanging sculpture made out of hangers, styrofoam everywhere and some really neat things done with florescent light bulbs. You are not allowed to take photos of the art, so we didn't get any pictures inside but you can always look him up online :) The entire family loved this exhibit, Lilly really like the room filled with fans blowing styrofoam in a huge pile around, so fun. One of the permanent exhibits is religious art so we told Lilly a few stories to go along with the paintings and felt like that was a good start to the religious aspect of family home evening.

After looking in the museum for awhile we decided to try and take some pictures outside, it was pretty dark, but we tried anyways :) After that we went out for ice cream at Cold Stone! It was Lilly's first time at coldstone and she asked for chocolate ice cream. Lilly really loves chocolate anything, so I was pretty sure she would want that :) Lilly actually ate more icecream than I did too :) It was a really fun Friday night, we all enjoyed our time with each other and are looking forward to next Friday family night.
