googiemomma friday august 28 2015 artsplash our grand adventures philadelphia museum of art i m starting in the middle end of our summer grand adventures because this program actually ends on september 7 so you can still make it if you rush you know how sometimes places advertise a kid s program then when you get there it s lame understaffed out of paper broken crayons empty stands where demonstrations should be that kind of thing you feel me right well rest assured art splash at the philadelphia museum of art is none of those things it is absolutely awesome let s break it down please excuse the crookedness of this photo i m blogging you can t expect photo editing too babysteps transportation two moms one grandmom 10 kids ranging from 15 to 3 we caught the train septa regional rail which is a 5 minute drive from our house and a 45 minute ride to the city you can get a family independence pass for 29 it covers 2 adults and up to 5 children on rail bus and subway for one whole day plus you don t have to fight the traffic and construction on 95 ugh it s about a mile to a mile and a half from suburban station to the art museum you re much closer to the drexel university academy of natural science the franklin institute the free library etc not really a terrible walk so long as it s not 200 humidity but what it lacks in physical coolness is made up for in the idiomatic coolness of culture and experiences like the homeless town just past the rodin museum checking out the gigantic screens in the comcast building real talk regional rail is relatively clean and safe mostly commuters headed into or home from work or college students if you miss rush hours there s a good chance you ll have plenty of room and once you get past the hairy parts of making sure your kiddos don t fall onto the tracks not gonna lie that gives me all sorts of heart palpitations even standing 10 feet away and holding on to them for dear life and making sure you don t miss your train it s basically stress free you can drink your dd and laugh at all the fools stuck on 95 the museum admission is 20 adult kids under 12 are free your ticket is valid for 2 consecutive days and also gets you admission to the rodin museum and the perelman building plus you get that sweet little metal button with a foldover tab to clip on your shirt and i m instantly in 3rd grade again there are a lot of discounts if you keep your eyes open we actually grabbed groupons for this trip so we paid a little less you can check the museum website for more info real talk the museum is obviously an experience in and of itself but honestly the thought of taking children under the age of 10 into echo y marble halls filled with priceless works gives me the cold sweats they don t whisper they don t understand that yes it s a chair but no don t sit in that chair it s not actually for sitting and no this isn t the museum where you can touch things but this program helps with that i d go so far as to say that art splash made us feel welcome and made the museum feel more accessible art splash starts in their studio there s a new theme every 2 weeks and we hit s is for shadow the staff who are super nice demonstrate an art project hand out supplies and let you have at it no time limits no pressure the studio also has a little reading area with comfy chairs and some toys for smaller siblings who quickly lose interest once you re done there hand over your license and get an ipad mini it s all set up with their scavenger hunt type program based on the book a is for art museum letter by letter the ipad leads you around the museum tracking your progress and congratulating you when you find the next work at each stop the program gives you a little more arrange your adult in the same position as the statue watch a video about how this was made listen to the sounds the birds in this tapestry make use the flashlights to find more details etc it gives them a purpose there s something for them to do now besides walk and walk and not touch and something to look for besides boobies and pee pees you know it s true and don t lie you also have access to the closest bathroom location on demand thumbs up along the way we ran into another art stop where the kids made and played with shadow puppets we have big plans of recreating this activity at home it took us about 3 hours to do the whole alphabet with a break for lunch the museum seems to be trying hard to involve you in the experience there s touch screens to explain smaller exhibits we translated our names into korean and printed them out and we only had one run in with security when the 3 and 4 year olds decided to climb on an ancient column capital oops after we finished and returned our ipad we spent some time in the art splash gallery which is right outside the studio more artwork on display including some hands on exhibits like this magnetic leaf tree which we rainbowtized for them you re welcome so in case it s not obvious we had a blast i highly recommend this activity and fully plan on doing it again next summer if they have it ratings mom ha made you learn in summer guinevere age 15 the art museum is amazing harrison age 13 it was fun ava age 11 that s 4 5 happy faces there was a lot of beautiful art gigi age 6 i number it 10 happy faces elliot age 4 i liked it super super super much bonuses obviously there s letting your kids do the rocky run up the front steps even if they have absolutely no idea who or what he is rocky himself is no longer on the top of the steps he s relocated to an area at the bottom right in the trees also i highly recommend sister cities park especially if it s hot it s about a 10 minute walk back towards city hall they ve created an oasis in the heart of the city kids can explore and splash and burn off the energy built up by all that not touching 0 commenters commented email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels googie mischief real life happenings the googies the momma thursday august 27 2015 summer this summer came with a bit of a mission nothing crazy it s just that last summer well last summer straight up stank when you start the summer with losing your dog it can only go up from there right wrong this time last year i was just recently released from the hospital after some fun with asthma and even before that the weeks of vacation had slipped through my fingers like a melting popsicle nothing exciting nothing to write about on that first day back to school this summer i _____________ watched a lot of tv so i was determined to make this one better beginning with our grand adventure day once a week ish we set off to do explore have fun get dirty learn something we live in a good spot here in se pa within an hour or so we can get to anything from mountains to beach to city and the fall back is always beach summer beach right eh i m no beach girl sunburn sharks nevermind there s so much other fun to be had just like rocky peach picking only fun for about 15 minutes then it s just sweaty manual labor pretty much our favorite park in the whole wide world ish cows girls you can keep your plastic water slides thankyouverymuch nothing says fun like and that about sums them up the big two kiddos started school yesterday the other two start tuesday so our grand adventures have ended for this summer but i have to say they were an all around success we found new places we love some we ve already revisited most we d never even heard of which got me to thinking how about a little review of some of our spots i spent hours searching for places to go i have some pretty specific qualifications fun actually there was a little more than that but i ll save the details for the later posts wouldn t want to overwhelm anyone seeing as how it s been months between my ramblings here 0 commenters commented email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday june 25 2015 adventures in once a month meals part deux well i m four months in let s make this quick yes i still love it super duper a lot yes i ve had some mess ups with amounts and a couple recipes that didn t go over well with everyone including this black bean ranch tortilla casserole which sounds like it s awesome but really is quite nasty nasty enough that personally i m of the opinion that the original recipe blogger was playing some sort of joke on everyone dumb enough to layer smashed tortilla chips ranch dressing yellow squash and a bunch of other stuff but moving on but honestly these issues are far and few between i discussed my food budget in the last post and i m happy to report that in the last 4 months of doing this i ve saved a total of 700 seven hundred dollars not that i have that money stashed under my bed or even on my bed so i can roll around in it it went to important things like underwear and socks and i don t even know what but seriously seven hundred dollars hard to beat that i have talked at least 5 friends into giving it a whirl i should sell this trash i just used up the last of my sam s club giant box of gallon freezer bags and foil pans last month they lasted me through 4 epic cooking days not bad jeremy helped me cook a few times and we actually had a nice system going having a partner wasn t as confusing as i feared but schedule wise it works better if i cook on mondays so i m flying solo once again aaaand that s about all i can think of right now my july menu has a large percentage of grill meals because it s summer after all and i bulked up the lunches a bit since all the kiddos are home it s nice to know they re not eating boxed mac and cheese every single day and that s what i love about this whole process in a nutshell xoxo
