FCMOA

On Saturday, we visited our local Museum of Art (FCMOA). They have an Ansel Adams exhibit we'd been wanting to visit, and it will be departing this month. Plus, we'd never been inside this particular museum before, even though we drive past it all the time and have lived in Fort Collins for years now. ;) 

So. We went. We started out in the main gallery area, looking at lovely big oil paintings on canvas that reminded Nathan and me of eastern Washington, where we grew up. We then headed upstairs and followed the awesome guide around the exhibit as she did her tour. In wandering and looking more individually at the photographs, the boys decided that these were their favorites:

Asher liked the sand dunes in CA...Micah liked Yosemite...and Noah liked the Grand Tetons. I think they were all terrific choices and couldn't decide on a personal favorite, myself. ;) 

And, here we are in front of the museum:

(I actually like the color version of this picture better, but black and white seemed more appropriate in front of the big Ansel Adams banner, lol. And, yes, I'm standing one step higher up than Nathan is. Gotta take advantage of the opportunity to appear taller when I can.)

So. That was part of our Saturday. It's rather rewarding to finally be experiencing more of the offerings right here in our hometown (like about a month ago when we visited Anheuser). Anyone have any recommendations for what we might tackle next?
