Sunday, May 4th, 2008Recently, my cousin and his family came down for a visit. He has an affinity for Amish country for some strange reason. Maybe it is to balance off his life in NYC? Well aside from watching buggies and eating at one of those extroverted family style eating establishments, there was some actual culture going on in Lancaster City – an Art’s festival. Even better, they had a few locations that were dedicated to hand’s on projects for children. So Sarah, who is two, had a fun filled day with art. The coolest event took place at the Lancaster Art Museum, which had an exhibition based on the works of Maurice Sendak. The show had some neat interactive elements that were perfect for Sarah. One piece was a replica of Max’s boat from Where the Wild Things Are and the other (which is pictured above) was a slide that tied in with the book, Chicken Soup with Rice. To paraphrase my cousin Ian; if this exhibit was in Brooklyn it would have been mobbed. Luckily it was in Lancaster and she was the only child there. Hence, no waiting and she slid, and slid, and slid.
