Road Trip: Arkansas Art and American Indian Museums

Our first 2 days in Arkansas were rainy so Aunt B planned indoor activities for us.  We went to their local art museum, Crystal Bridges, and spent most of our time in the children's activity room. On the way across the courtyard we saw this huge sculpture of a spider called "Maman".  

The abdomen of the spider was full of large white rock eggs.

The kids' room was a perfect place for this creative crew to hang out. They had lots of different activity stations.

Cousin C was super patient with baby L's efforts to "help" him with his building.

We also visited an American Indian Museum that was very well done.  They normally had an arrowhead hunt for the kids outside, but they just gave them to us since it was rainy. 

They had this lovely exhibit about stone tools and grinding grain.

 We decided to try going out to dinner that night to a local pizza place.  With both husbands out of town and 8 kids between the two of us.  It was wild. We got a lot of interesting looks. We also had to send one pizza back because it was too spicy for anyone to eat!
