Art and cold weather

Last week the kids and I tried to go see a free magic show that was happening during winter holiday.  We got there too late to get a seat, but we enjoyed seeing the nifty scrap metal sculptures outside.

We also went to visit the Malba (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires).  There was a special exhibit by a Japanese artist named Yayoi Kusama.  She did a lot of stuff with polka-dots.  We waited in line for an hour just to get in.  The exhibit was pretty neat, although any museum with kids (especially 1 and 3 year-olds) has to be a short visit.

 

This was a polka-dot covered living room set-up under black light. All of our pictures are pretty awful since you can't use flash and we have a simple snapshot camera.

 

A mirror encased walk-through room with hanging, changing, Christmas lights.  The lights seem to go on forever and it was pretty cool to be immersed in.

Every visitor to the museum gets a sheet of stickers so they can add to the art of this room.

It also turned cold last week.  Like highs in the mid 40s cold.  So not unbearable, but not super pleasant to be out and about.   We still went places, except for one day where it just felt too cold to be a tourist and we stayed home all day.  We had an epic battle instead: Sienna and Colby with rolled paper swords, Ashley with Karate Bunny, Dallin with red-light-green-light-choo-choo-scarf, and Paul and I with a hanger. It was never really clear who was battling against who, but I think we all won in the end.
