We started out with the face painting station. We thought we'd skip it for SJ, but after painting LL and AG's faces, one of the artists offered to paint SJ's hands. As you can see, she was fascinated and thrilled with the results!
With at least a dozen possibilities, there was still no real debate for the big sisters; they both chose to be princesses. LL decided on blue and AG purple to accent the essential pink.
Then it was off (or up, since we were in a 6 story building) to storytime. My favorite part was sitting behind the girls as they listened together!
We went up to the top floor, where there is a really nice restaurant with an outdoor seating area. Not a bad view of the river and bridge! I may be trying to persuade T to go there for a special occasion sometime...although that will take some work since it's a sushi place :).
AG and LL painted and glittered doctor's caps. I think they would have spent hours on this if we'd let them!
Afterward, we walked to the nearby old state capitol building, which we'd not been to before. It is really interesting and unique from the outside, and beautiful inside with a huge spiral staircase in the center and lots of stained glass. Here are the girls in either the House or Senate chamber. LL went up to the podium and said, "Now I'm going to preach!"
Gorgeous stained glass rotunda!
A fun day...we hope to make it a regular outing in coming months and to do some more nearby exploring!
