Minnesota Sculpture Garden

Our little strawberry patch is producing like crazy. We simply cannot eat enough to keep up with production. So, Leiden and I set to making strawberry bread. We sliced up 12 cups of strawberries and still had some pickings from today left over. And more that will be ready in 2 days! We are all going to turn pink from all the strawberries!

Today we went with Mad and Joni to the Minnesota Sculpture Garden, which is always fun. Perhaps known best for its giant spoon and cherry, the girls were thrilled to be able to run and be crazy.

Especially this one. It's hard to tell in the first picture, but the whole area around the spoon and cherry is a little pond. Mimi instinctively knew this, and made several beelines for the water.

We tried to keep her close to other sculptures, and away from water, but...

she found some anyway. The bottom of a sculpture was a fine little mud puddle about 4 inches deep.

She was not happy when I pulled her away from that puddle.

Leiden and the giant glass fish:

Leiden thought for sure she could reach this beam.

Mac tried a different approach.

And we're happy again with flowers to touch.

The girlies. Milliseconds before Mimi climbed off the bench. Attention span=zero.
