Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

We had the chance to visit the Arboretum last weekend when it was marvelously warm outside. The tulips were starting to peek out of the ground and the birds were singing a happy song! In addition to going through Patrick Dougherty's 'Uff-da Palace", which is a magical and fun place for kids, we also got the pleasure of walking through, around and under Steve Tobin's Steel Roots exhibit. It is worth visiting this wonderful outdoor set of 16 sculptures. Here is the link for more information!
I love the shadows that this one created!

Spring is Here!

Spring is here and so are the bugs, butterflies, worms and other critters!



The kids did a beautiful job of creating their own personal garden scenes with a butterfly popping off the page!
