This week Eva and I took a trip out to the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art with my aunt and my grandmother. It is a fantastic museum with a great library, a movie theater that shows little films about artists, an amazing gallery of art from Eric Carle and many other picture book artists, a cafe and an art studio. We had a ton of fun checking out all of the museum and hanging out with the family.
I managed to forget my camera at home, I guess that I am too accustomed to Drew having his available. Fortunately, my aunt brought hers and she snapped some great shots.
Eva wanted to play with the “balls” on the birthday cake for Eric Carle’s 80th birthday celebration.

Eva loved the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar got into the cookies. How cute is that??
Eva loved mugging for Aunt Jan’s camera!
The current project in the Art Studio is watercolors. Eva loved it!
The Bourque trait rears itself. Most of my mom’s family sticks their tongue out when they concentrate. Now Eva does too!
Someone got a little worn out from all of the excitement.
Thanks for a great day, Aunt Jan!

Thanks for the comment, Sandy. We loved the museum. We live a little far to visit too frequently, but we will definitely be back!

I love seeing some of my favorite children’s books being passed down through the generations. There will always be new hot gadgets and tech tools, but the classic books tend to stick around (even if they move to digital form).
