Minneapolis Institute of Art

Minnesota Public Radio put on a free, family friendly event called Rock the Cradle at the Minneapolis Institute of Art today and we took the chance to head down there after church.  It was a very busy place- and I literally screamed like a banshee at a lady who tried to steal our parking spot- but it was wonderful to see Eva's face as we went through the exhibits.  In addition to the normal art there was a lot of live music and dancing, but Eva actually enjoyed the art and quiet of the exhibit halls better, which I was not expecting.  We plan on going back on a normal day sometime soon to have more time to look at the art.

Biggest surprise of the day?  Eva correctly identifying Jesus in a sculpture of the passion.  I don't think she's ever seen a graphic representation of Jesus' death, and we don't even have Jesus on the cross that's in the front of our church, so I wasn't really expecting her to know it, but she did.  I have to start giving her more credit I suppose. 

Coolest car ever

Watching the music show

Tattoo time

This is the one that she knew was Jesus...
and then she stared at it for a good few minutes, not saying anything- pretty intense

Had to take a photo of this one... this is a woman. Ha!

Prepping to jump aaaand...
