Dia de los Muertos


On Sunday we traveled down to the Museum of the American Indian for their Dia de los Muertos celebration. The girls enjoyed doing crafts like paper flowers and paper cards before we headed upstairs to hear Native American legends and try to find some totem poles for Evie's art project she is working on. 


There is a great kids section on the third floor where the girls explored elements of Native American culture, like living in a teepee, basket weaving, building an igloo... and in this instance, practicing our skateboarding skills. 


Ellie also took Brown Bear on a kayak ride...


...and later practiced her balancing skills for a real kayak with the initial help of Dad.


We ended the day with some coloring before checking out the ofrenda (altar) on the way out.  It was a fun day!
