Memorial Day Weekend Adventures, Part 2: Cantor Arts Center at Stanford

by Papa K on May 27, 2015

Mommy was on a roll this weekend with the fun activities. On Sunday, we headed down to Stanford to check out the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford. It actually re-opened while I was at Stanford back in 1999 (it had been damaged in an earthquake) – but I’m actually ashamed to admit I had never actually been to it before. It’s a pretty fantastic museum and on certain Sundays they have a family day where they give the kids art kits and they have special tours and art classes. Right up our alley!

Lauren LOVED her art kit. She pretty much loves anything that can carry things.

We've seen Maile do this before, but a first for Lauren - working on her art projects in orange, of course, her favorite color!

Museums that let kids lie out on the floor like this and create are awesome - kudos to Stanford for a great family day!
