In an effort to expose the child to culture, we had a family day at the museum, Family Anthropology Day! The University has a beautiful museum, of which they should it took a three year closure and is brand new. This is the second time we've been, 'cause it's expensive to go and J.R.'s work has a much nicer, much free-er exhibit.
We began the delightful afternoon with making an official indian head necklace (jewelry is always welcome, of course).
then we were off to coloring in petroglyphs
somewhere in there (no pictures, of course) she made an antique clay pot, and an ulu.
We then walked into a large room, where Amelia immediately screamed 'sandbox!'.
when what she meant to exclaim was 'ohh, archeological dig.' She rummaged around for awhile, and she found indian arrowheads, animal parts, and lovely fossils (insert giddy Daddy)
A vision of the future, if Daddy 'tutors' her correctly.
Amelia and I then took a tour around the entire museum. It didn't take long, Amelia has yet to appreciate abstract Native art. She ran through.
Oh well, one experience at a time!
