Ethan's Paris Party: The Museum

As the kids arrived, they entered through a hallway with an exhibit of little art reproductions. During the meal we hid the 13 artworks in the courtyard and left clues--puzzle pieces telling them the art was hidden in the courtyard. Then partway through the party, we sent Ethan out to get the Mona Lisa (for an "art lesson") so he could discover the theft. The kids assembled the puzzle and ran out in the drizzle to hunt. The highlight for me was a boy opening his eyes very wide and telling me "This is a little bit scary!" (We assured him it was just for fun.)
