Our friend invited us to a field trip to the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek to see s super hero art exhibit. It was perfect timing since we had just finished trading a book about some children who run away and live at a museum.
The big kids went in one group and the littles in another. I love how Hazel came in her superhero costume. The guide talked about mixing colors, superhero abilities, she played I spy with the kids and gave them each a picture with some art they had to find. It was perfect for the little siblings. 
Here's the big kid group. Gabriela loved being with her friends and finding so much detail in this huge piece.

Superheroes were the perfect subject for Easton. He excitedly recognized each superhero. There were exhibits of aging superheroes, superheroes doing ordinary everyday activities, normal people attempting superhero feats, and on so many mediums. I would love to go back and take a closer look. 
This larger than life crocheted Spider-Man was a hit for both Gabriela and Easton. 
Check out all that awesome superhero detail! Easton not only spotted tons of superheroes, but dinosaurs and garbage trucks and even some wizard of oz characters as well. In the background you can see the handknit costumes too. 
The kids then did a superhero cuff craft. They thought of their own superhero ability and designed a cuff. Easton's shoots real spider webs and he's been wearing his for weeks.
