Molly was sick with the flu yesterday, so I stayed home from work with the kids. I took them to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum at their request, and when I got there I could understand why. It was a totally awesome place filled with what seems like endless exhibits both educational and fun. It was hard to keep track of the boys because I wanted to play with all the exhibits too.

This photo is a piece of artwork that was located in the windows facing Lake Michigan. Actually, there were about 15 of these similar works of art. I assume they were done by some local children, but I didn't see any signage for the artists; otherwise, I would have noted it here. Each piece was very good, but this was the only one that faced the light properly. When I took this picture I realized that it was for a photoblog post because it's not something people usually photograph I'm sure. This is one of the reasons I like this photoblog because it forces me to think outside of the ordinary in an effort to visually capture your attention and improve my creativity and skills as a photographer.

Thanks for the great comments on the previous post, and thanks again for visiting!

• Nice photo - had the boys been to the museum before? How did they hear about it? That might have to be on the agenda for the next trip home -- nice one!

• Aaron, I updated post to include a link to the museum's website. The boys had been at the museum before and would love to go everyday if we could take them. The museum is targeted for kids, but I'm guessing most adults are a little envious of all the great exhibits.
