Native American museum

Ella spotted a rainbow on the ceiling on our way in

Help from big bro



They had a hands-on area for the kids. They could look at different pieces of beadwork - they were so intricate that they looked like embroidery - so anyway, they look at the beadwork and then can open drawers and look at loose beads. Not very exciting at all, but Shane did enjoy opening and closing the drawers.

There was a weaving class going on and the big kids were allowed to sit in if they wanted. Ella wanted to actually weave so she wasn't happy to just sit and watch. Not that I minded...it turns out it was a 2 hour class. ouch!
This sculpture reminded me of the big tree at the animal kingdom park at Disney world. It had all sorts of animals, arrows, people, etc carved into it.

All in all, I"m glad we went to the museum if for no other reason than to satisfy my curiosity. It really isn't for younger kids. Most everything was 'look at, read about and don't touch' Not very exciting if you're 6, 5 or 2.
I'm pleading mercy and heading to bed. Tune in later to see where we went next. :)
