A Chinese New Year...The year of the tiger


Saturday; Jolene's family and Scott and I; went to the University of Utah and experienced their free 3rd Saturday activities. This week it was all about the year of the tiger and the Chinese New Year. The kids went on a treasure hunt throughout the museum finding different animals that make up the Chinese New Year over previous years; (like rooster, snake, goat, dog etc.) All of these were in paintings or sculptures in the various rooms of the museum.
They also colored lanterns; and made hats. Here Jolene and Devin are making a hat for Addison.

Brianne and Griffin show off their hats.


There was live entertainment; like this dragon weaving thoughout the crowd as well as musicians and dancers (all Chinese of course)

It was a very fun activity that we had never experienced before. So just remember that on the 3rd Saturday of each month at the University of Utah Fine Arts building; there will be a different FREE activity going on. First come; first serve. (But they can handle LOTS of people)

Cute pictures. Glad you had a good time, even though there were a ton of people.

Cute pictures of Jo's kids. They seem like they grow up so fast since we don't get to see them much.
