Museum Time

Leah has started working on the Young Women's Personal Progress program with our church.  She decided to work on the value of Knowledge for her first project.  This project was based on the 13th Article of Faith which states, "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things.  If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."  She chose to visit the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta.  It contains "Art from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Near East, and the ancient Americas, 19th- and 20th-century sub-Saharan African art, and European and American works on paper from the Renaissance to the present day; largest collection of ancient art in the Southeast".

So, on Presidents Day the kids and I toured this museum.  Leah and Kaitlyn loved it.  Hyrum was somewhat interested until he saw actual mummies.  He did not like that at all.  Amy just put up with the experience and didn't especially enjoy being told to be quiet.  We really enjoyed seeing works of art that were certainly inspiring.
