Bowers

Today I was lounging at home with nothing to do... Suddenly I heard my phone buzz, I frantically was looking around for my phone and found it under my husband who was awoken by it. he he :) My friend had called informing me of the Bowers Museum's free day. I decided since I had nothing better to do that it would be fun to hang out with my buddy and for my kids to play with their buddies too. 

I arrived earlier than my friends did so we sat and enjoyed the entertainment that was provided. We sat on the shady grass and listened to a man sing and tell stories he brought back from Africa. I really enjoyed the show. He was talking about his wife and about how they were grandparents. (It was odd for the fact that they seemed to only look like they were in there early thirty!?!?) 

I finally found my friend who had invited me at the craft table making mask. Jay and Bee had decided to join in on the fun. They made some beautiful paper plate masks. When all the kids had finished we took some pictures of them. 

I was then approched by a young girl from Cal State Fullerton. I say young but she was probally my age. She asked me some questions and took some pictures of the boys. It was really cool to be in the journalism process. 

We took a tour of the inside of Bowers, it was a quick tour mind you. We could have stayed all day but we needed to still go to church. Bowers has so much to offer and we only stayed for a few minutes mainly because I was afraid that Jay and Bee's grubby little fingers would soon find a priceless artifact causing our family to then be indebted to the musume for life. 

Over all we had a great time at the Bower's Musume. I will defineitly take advatage of there free days and the events that go on there. They really do have a lot to offer the community. 

It was nice to learn more about Jay and Bee's heritage, both the Native and African American side.
