Des Moines Art Festival

The very first post I did on this blog was about our afternoon at the Des Moines Art Festival. (Look at how little Amelia was!) The Art Festival is a very nice annual event that draws thousands of people into downtown. We were back to visit this year, juggling a somewhat adult activity (looking at sometimes very expensive art) with our kids interests (snacks, rolling down the big hill in the sculpture garden). The day started kind of overcast and dreary, but as we walked through the festival the sun began to peak through. We only stayed for a couple of hours, but enjoyed getting out and doing something a little different.

I love doing things like that as a family. Those simple outings are memories the girls will always have.
