Halloween at Great America, Oct 2024

 

Repurposed carousel horse!

Love the embroidered pumpkin.

Ha!

A hay bale 'maze' with decorative gourds and a story.

I'm not sure there were mice in the story, but here they are anyway.

Cute!

I was impressed that they added new areas, including an Oktoberfest beer tent and bar games.  

Look what can be done with gourds!

Guggenheim April 2024

 

After DC we visited friends in NYC.  We got to see Hadestown, eat amazing food, hang in Central Park, and visit the Guggenheim museum.

They are installing a huge new exhibit so the center was off limits.  This meant only a few people were  visiting-nice!  It had been forever so we were happy to see what was available.

A second exhibit about fabric/material.

Part of the new exhibit.

This fluff volcano room purposely lets the fluff move to the corners.

There was a whole section of kids art.  

They sent artists to schools to work with groups of kids for a whole semester.

Of all of them, the food was the best!

Washington DC, National Gallery, Calder, Rotundra, and sculpture, April 2024

 

The National Gallery is wonderful so I'll let the art speak for itself.
