Saturday, November 28 was our last day in Arkansas. It was very rainy, so we went to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. The museum itself is situated in a little valley surrounded by trees and water; it is very serene.

The kids had bingo cards with pictures of paintings in the museum that they could find. Once they found the painting, they were supposed to write the artists name underneath. The pictures on the paper were just a small portion of the painting so it was a fairly difficult task to find them but they had promised them a prize in the end! The kids loved it and it kept their attention for a lot longer than we otherwise could have done.

This string art in the stairwell was really cool, I just had to get a photo. Unfortunately, I turned off the auto focus on my camera in order to take it and, as usual, I forgot to turn it back on afterward. Therefore, all subsequent photos are out of focus!

Raine loved the kid studio where she could make her own artwork.

One of these things is not like the other (although, they are all horribly out of focus)!

The grounds around the museum were gorgeous, too bad it was raining.

After the museum, we headed for home. We stopped for lunch at MarketPlace Grill in Springdale and the kids played a [long and drawn-out] game of checkers on the covered patio.

About 5 hours later, we pulled into home.
