Fun at Horseshoe Lake Park

I've tried a few times to pick the girls up a little early to do something fun before dinner. It's getting harder as it's getting dark so early. We took a quick trip to the park last week to feed the ducks and play on the playground a bit. 

Rainy Halloween

We had a lovely first Halloween here in Shaker, but didn't do much actual trick or treating. The girls had fun dressing up as a fairy and Abby Cadabby. We only made it about 5 houses and then the girls were cold, so we called it quits. Quinley spent the rest of the time handing out candy, and she thought that was pretty great. 

Now the wings and tutus have been added to our dress collection, so they'll get a lot of use for play. 

How cool is this?

I took the girls to the Cleveland Museum of Art today, because they were off school due to the election. We didn't make it to any of the permanent exhibits - it's close, so we'll be back. But, we saw Zodiac Heads by Ai Weiwei in the atrium and then went off to find the kids play space. 

We walks into the museum behind a group of high schoolers and Quinley took off with them to admire the sculptures. 

You can see her in a gray dress, just over Reagan's head. 

Then, we hit up the play space. It had quite a few cool, interactive activities that the girls were very into. And, it wasn't so busy when we got there. The best thing was this screen that you use your finger to draw lines on and art pops up behind it, matching your line with part in the artwork. I did manage to get a decent picture of this. 

Quinley drew those 2 blue lines, and then...

2 different pictures popped up, matching the lines she drew. 

Also, they have a great cafe. I could definitely spend all day there. Plus, there's a beautiful lake in the back that we haven't explored yet.
