Art Park Hike

Yesterday, after having a proper holiday weekend breakfast--donuts from Mel-O-Glaze--we all piled in the car (Cocoa included) and went to Caponi Art Park in Eagan, MN, about 20 minutes from our home. We got there early in the morning and no one else was there.  It was beautiful weather, cool and a little cloudy and breezy. So we went for a little hike and looked at the Sculpture Garden.  Following the path, Lily would say, "Follow me! I know the way!" and she'd run ahead and discover another sculpture and then tell us to come see.

Here's one that's called "Nugget," that looks kind of like a hand with fingers clasping one half.  We had to lift Lily up to see the fingers on the top:

I like how rainwater collects between the fingers.

Here's one called "Lovers":

  

I asked Lily what she thought this one looked like:

She said they looked like birds from her show "Dinosaur Train."  I quite agree.  Pteranodons.  Made of iron.

The trail was a bit muddy from all the rain we've had lately, so it was fun for Lily to pick up sticks and draw in the mud:

Look at that golden hair in the morning sun...
