In July 2011, I took my friend Beth's children: Alex, Chris and Dylan to the National Museum of the Native American or whatever it is called in D.C. They were having a festival that day so Alex wanted to go. It was one of the hottest days in 2011. One of those days where you can barely walk because you are pressed back with OPRESSIVE HEAT...
the metro we were on did NOT have AC.. going there OR on the way back.. on the way back we were in rush hour traffic so not ONLY did it not have AC... we had to sit RIGHT beside someone else ..that was also super sweaty..
we walked over to the museum.. and when we were walking up to it we could FEEL the AC coming out of the building it was on that HIGH and THAT STRONG.. it felt like SUCH A RELIEF...!!!! there were booths set up that were selling different native american things.
We sat at one booth and learned how to play a Hawaiin game.. that was fun.
We went in a room and got some free books that they were giving to people that take care of children. I have since read those books.. they are all propaganda.. good propaganda.. because it is all about eating healthy and working out.. but STILL propaganda.. so much so that there is almost no story it is just HEY KIDS EAT HEALTHY AND RUN AROUND MORE!!!!
We sat at one station and made cornhusk dragon flys which is a LOT harder than it looks... or seems.
We went to another station and made little clay pots.
THEN we walked back to the car with TWELVE BOOKS a lesson manual on how to teach the stuff in the books to your kids. SIX clay pots FOUR cornhusk dolls.. and did I say it was HOT!!!! so so so so so so so SO HOT.. OMGOSH it was HOT.. I seriously don't know how we made it BACK to the metro I don't.
THEN I lost the kids in the metro.. and Alex kept calling me and I did not have reception .. and it was SO HOT.. and then we found each other.. and all was well.. in the world..
