Egghead Hunting
The training wheels came off today. Literally. Today my oldest rode his bike on his own for the first time. In celebration, we decided to pack the youngest into my bike carrier and head onto the university campus, which is not far away. The students are out for spring break, so we literally have these huge streets with no cars (almost) completely to ourselves. I printed a map of Robert Arneson’s Egghead Series and we did our own pre-Easter egghunt.
Robert Arneson created sculptures of eggs with faces on them that are each about the size of a person. They are incredibly expressive and often appear to look like they have been into some mischief. A total of seven eggheads are located in five areas of the UC Davis campus. Each location is not all that far from the previous one, and so together they make for a great art walking tour. The tour ends near the campus coffee house. If you happen to take this walk during the school year, you can stop in there when you’ve finished for a snack for the way home. The kids opted instead to play a round of good guy/bad guy using the eggs as shields. I settled for snacking on some graham crackers that I had packed earlier. 
Don’t you just love those days when new doors open up, and moving from one place to the next gets a little easier.
