Walter Wick for Spring Break

Spring break was unfortunately dismal. The weather was cold and snowy and there was nothing "Spring" break about it. I let the kids play a lot at home, we went to a movie one of the days. Then on Friday, Jeremy had work off, so we took the kids to the Walter Wick exhibit at the BYU art museum. It was so cute! Walter Wick is the artist who publishes the I Spy books. His art is very colorful, creative, and fun. Each of the kids got a paper at the beginning of the exhibit of things to look for in the art. We spent over an hour looking at the art and even Alexandra was entertained!

After the art museum, we took the kids to the eatery at BYU and got them some lunch. They all thought it was so neat to be eating at BYU with all the students. :) Jeremy and I didn't eat with the kids. Instead we opted to make a special trip to J Dawgs for their "famous" gourmet hot dogs. MMMM They were tasty! It was so big I could hardly finish it, though. I was proud of myself because I tried the sauerkraut. I didn't know what it was, but it turns out it's just pickled cabbage, and it's actually pretty good!

So, I would recommend taking your kids to the art exhibit. It's there until August and it's free!

fun, fun, fun! I miss BYU's campus and there is to do there! What am I talking about...I miss everything about UT!?!?!
We just went to our town's art exhibit today. Sara's art teacher at the elem. school entered her self portrait. while there a lady gave my kids free movie passes. this little town has a theatre that shows 2 movies. Luckily the Hannah Montana one is in town so we'll go have some fun for free, yee : )

Thanks for the tip. I was just thinking we needed a good kid friendly museum outing that didn't involve dead animals.

Sorry, but I had to laugh at the big hotdog comment. That sounds like something our kids would like. Send me an e-mail with the details about it, like where is the Art Museum (and don't just say BYU). Paige likes the I Spy books and I think both the kids would love it and I always love FREE!
