Frist

Last Saturday, Frist had their free Family Day.  I took the boys there (and then to a birthday party) so Brian could have a day to work on his "new" car.

The temporary exhibit at the museum is "Samurai: The Way of the Warrior" which was really cool. There were suits of armor, helmets, swords, and more.  Plus there was a seek and find to find creatures in the art on the helmets, etc.  Perfect for my boys!

Then we headed over to watch the play "The Stonecutter" which was put on my Wishing Chair Productions.  They also do the puppet shows at the downtown library.  Carter really enjoyed the play, Rylan got a little bored, and Gray fell asleep :)

Next we headed upstairs to do the crafts.  The boys made origami samurai helmets, Edo boxes, and nobori warrior flags.

Before heading out, the boys spent some time in the ArtQuest Gallery (the permanent kids area at the museum where the kids can do watercolor paintings, print making, and other hands-on activities) and went to a storytime where they told The Story of the Peach Boy.

We love taking advantage of free activities!
