A Night At The Museum

We were so excited for this night to finally arrive.  Blake is part of a group called E.O.  All of the members own their own business and they are able to network with each other, have meetings, retreats, and plan fun things for their families to do.  We were so excited for this activity and for the fact that it was actually going to happen because they had to go through hoops and loops to get it to work.  Thanks boys!

So for the activity we met down at the Boise Art Museum.  We started out the evening by having a pizza party in the museum, then went on to do art projects, followed by a flashlight tour through the museum, then wrapped up the evening with a popcorn and movie night.  What other movie than "Night At The Museum" would be appropriate.  The best and craziest part is we got to SLEEP in the museum.  Even the museum workers stayed the night.  We had such a blast!



Allie at our dinner table.  The theme in the museum was "comics" hence the BAM decor on the table



Sophie pushed her little stool, that was just her size, around the art classroom while I chased her around.  Allie and Blake worked on their comic characters and comic strips

Enjoying the tour through the museum...hunting down letters that the artist used in the paintings



Me and the girls in the atrium of the museum where we were going to have our sleepover.  There was the coolest art exhibit in the middle of the room; some huge, crazy, thing that was made into a circle from tiny pieces of wood and hoisted off the ground onto stilts.  I was a little nervous one of the kids was going to run into it and have it come crashing to the ground


Lights Off, Camera, Action....Daddy and his girls ready for the show and ready for a sleep over



Sophie getting very sleepy.  Sophie fell asleep down at the museum, which I was shocked about considering this kid loves her bed. I ended up taking her home later on because I didn't want her waking anyone up in the middle of the night.  Thanks for all the fun daddy!
