At the Albright Knox with the Kids

Today we went to the Albright Knox Art Gallery with the kids. This is the first time Katie and Todd had been there since it reopened following the extensive renovations and construction of the new building. It was incredibly busy for a Thursday morning.  We went in separate cars again and met them in the museum. We parked in the back and again we were surprised how parked up the area was. We expect that on Thursday and Friday evenings when the museum is open and there are many community activities going on but we didn't expect it this morning. There was also more construction going on outside the gallery and some of the walkways to the real entrance were closed. Well I guess they are constantly improving the museum these days.

We got a text from Kate saying that they were at the Legos Creative Commons. When we got there the kids were immersed in playing with Legos at many different levels and they were having lots of fun. Many other kids there too. After playing for awhile we went into the museum itself. Becky and I are members and the staff there saw that we were together with Katie and Todd and checked to see if we had any guest passes available from our membership. We did so they all got in free as our member guests. 

The kids loved the artwork in the museum. They were very interested in almost everything and we were there a couple of hours. Henry especially liked some of the sculptures and wants to use them for his superhero creature drawings like the ones in these photos. He wanted me to take pictures of them so he could draw them later and they did become part of his Blueberry Boy series which I will post later.
