Our museum just never disappoints. Saturday was the Bubble Blitz, and the kids and I headed out while Daddy went to a grown-up field day for work. I never knew you could do so much with bubbles!
We bounced bubbles:
Extra glycerin made them strong enough to really bounce on your hand.
We caught fog bubbles:
Dry ice made them sink and then pop into a really cool fog.
We danced in bubbles:
Because really, that's just fun. We also made our own wands, played with bubble wrap, made bubble rockets, and blew more bubbles of more shapes and sizes than you can imagine!
There was the traditional festive face paint:
And as usual, Evan was not interested.
And lest you think I've finally lost my mind, there was a reason Issa wore her Angelina Ballerina costume:
PBS visited the museum with an Angelina themed event.
The kids got to see Reada-roo again:
But the highlight was the dance workshop with the American Dance Festival:
Miss Leah from the ADF company led one of the most engaging, warm, modern workshops I have even seen:
Evan loved watching the workshop, too:
They danced like bubbles moving through all kinds of environments: air, water, honey. They had a live bongo drummer to provide the music, and she made the kids feel comfortable dancing just how they were while she danced like she would on stage at ADF. It was beautiful. In fact, we are going to another ADF event this weekend--we can't wait! Have I mentioned we kind of like this museum?
