The end of a michigan winter finds me like a shaken soda bottle, ready to explode and so, as February moves toward March I am all about field trips.  Marc, Ares Cousin, is with us five days a week and his sister Ella is hanging with my sister so we decided a trip to the DIA was in order and boy was it!  It was Marc’s first visit (and Ella’s too) to the museum and they loved it.  Ares always does, the weather was turning warm and we spent the afternoon exploring.  I was really excited to see Van Gogh’s “Bedroom in Arles” (though no photos were allowed) and the kids found the armor, and the echos in the big hall pretty entertaining.  The star attraction of the day was a german film about a rube goldberg type cause and effect apparatus!
