Des Moines Sculpture Garden

A sculpture garden just opened in downtown Des Moines and the first sunny day over 40 we ran to check it out.  It was incredible.  We spent about 1 1/2 hours and everyone seemed to enjoy it.  I didn't think Tarce got too much out of it  ( since e spent mos of the time hearing me say,"Remember don't touch. Come back Tarce.  Trace get up.  Stop rolling in the grass. etc etc ")until he came to tell Tom about it.  HE remembered almost all of the sculptures and details about each.  I was impressed.


This was Trace's favorite...the giant Spider.  The artist created this in memory of her mother...I am hoping Trace was not thinking the same thing


My favorite.  It was hard not to touch this one

. As you can see Trace really want to kick the letters he knew...

Tian loved these guys

Tian wandered away and stood staring at this one tilting her head...hmm maybe she is a future art critic. Trace was more interested in "what is that bunny eating"

Ty said he liked this table and chairs because it made him think of Medieval times

 The coat reminded me of the Narnia books

What's a day at the park without a little pushing match :o)  They were both laughing so they couldn't get up.
