Rain, Museums, and Finger Puppets

It rained yesterday.


So our plans of a picnic in the mountains were dashed. Not to worry! We just looked at my never ending list of things to do, and remembered that the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is free every third Saturday!
These pictures are deceiving. It really was a rainy day. We were lucky enough to have a few minutes of sunshine.





Not only is the museum free every third Saturday, it also has a free craft for families to make!
Yesterday's craft was finger puppets. You are supposed to go through the galleries to get inspiration. Then, you make inspired finger puppets.
Lydia's inspiration lasted for the 2 seconds it took to scribble on her finger puppet. Ryan took over from there.


We never got a good picture of the finger puppet because Lydia tore it apart almost immediately. Here, you can see that it once had a hat.

May it rest in peace.

The sweater looks a little big, but it will last a long time. You can wash it in the washing machine, but I would dry it flat.

I am glad you got to go because you really wanted to!
