Summertime Adventures

As much as I love to hate the MN winters, I have to admit that summertime can be absolutely splendid.
And when we are not all cooped up inside, there is actually quite a bit to get out and see and DO in this state!

Here's a little "window" into our world. All right, it's not actually a "window" - it's an outdoor sculpture at the Walker Art Museum. It's quite a large structure, actually. And I thought it was so neat because depending on where you stand, the sculpture frames different areas of the city. Here, it is framing our tallest building, the IDS.



Here are the kiddos and I standing in front of the famous "cherry on spoon" sculpture in the garden. Not sure if that's exactly the right name for it, but it fits, so I'll go with it...



Our visit was even more fun having Grandma along. Here they are discussing a sculpture that I was told looked like (to them) Moses staff at the burning bush. Wow! Did my kids really think of that on their own? Yeah- they did. And I think the tour guide was a little suspicious of me after that ;) I mean, how many 4 year old's come up with that interpretation after staring at a jumbled mess of bronze and wood? (It was Alex's interpretation, after all).



Perhaps the most fascinating part of the entire sculpture garden was the duckies in the pond in the center of the garden. My girls... they love their nature, that's for sure!
