I've been really busy this week and feeling like I needed (and wanted) to spend some quality time with my kiddos. I got the bright idea to take them to the Denver Art Museum today. As you can imagine this could be a hit or miss idea with a rambunctious two year-old and a princess-of-a-three year old.
Well, It was a hit - I mean a grand slam kind of a hit. We had SUCH a good time today.
Maya and Cole LOVED the museum and more specifically, the artwork. They were enthralled with the larger-than-life stories on canvas. There were colors and textures and shapes and all sorts of intriguing things for them to see. For hours - literally - we strolled through rooms filled with centuries of European Art, Native American Art, African Art, American Art, Spanish-Colonial Art, Modern Art and just plain FREAKY art. We dialogued about the intricacies and complexities and simplicities of piece after piece after piece. At 10 to 3 my kids were still going strong (?!?!?!), and once we finally made our way to the car, we spent the whole time planning for our next museum excursion!!
I think I may have enjoyed today even more than my children did. Today may have seriously been one of the best days we've spent together (I wonder how many times I'll say that in my life). It really was awesome, and it was sheer joy to see my kids come alive in response to ART.
SHEER joy.
