Four years ago, Boogs and I visited Umlauf Sculpture Garden. You can see the post here. This time we did some of the same activities - scavenger hunt, salt water taffy sculpture, sketching our favorite sculpture, walking the grounds, and learning more about the artwork.
Last time we came, I created a scavenger hunt because I did not know they offered one. During this visit, we used the one provided at the visitor center.
While we were there, Boogs measured himself against a sculpture called The Diver. Boogs was 7-years-old when we went last time and he was almost the exact same size as the statue.
Look how much his arm has grown.
Taffy "sculpture" of The Diver.

Ah 11 years old, he is indeed just on the cusp of change. Another 3 years and he will have shot up in height and his feet too! Lovely to return somewhere you have enjoyed in the past and compare the then and now photos, I hope you both go back again for the next measure up in a few years. I hope you found everything on your scavenger hunt list too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
We definitely plan on returning again in a few years. Thanks for hosting Country Kids.
DeleteSo nice that you can get really up close to the sculptures and loads of fun for the ids to copy the poses and get involved. Mich x
ReplyDeleteUmlauf Sculpture Garden is a family friendly place to visit. Admission is free during the summer and one Sunday a month.
DeleteLooks like lots of fun here. It is great having something to compare your self with as you grow. My kids use to love doing things like that. #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteYes, it is fun to see how you've grown. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
DeleteWhat a great place to explore. I love all the comparison photos, you often don't realise just how much they've grown do you #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteTime is going by too fast. It is neat to see the comparison because you don't realize how they have grown when you are with them every day.
DeleteWhat an excellent idea to measure against a statue! Looks a fascinating space
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is a beautiful place to visit.
DeleteHow lovely to be able to compare the two visits and see how Boogs has grown! Looks like a lovely place, we have a Sculpture Garden near us and it's a favorite of mine. #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThese gardens are so peaceful, the volunteers are friendly, and the grounds are beautiful.
DeleteThose sculptures are wonderful. What a lovely place to explore and how lovely to have those memories to look back on. Boogs has certainly grown since your last visit! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteI found it hard to believe it had been four years since our last visit. It really does not seem that long ago.
