Umlauf Sculpture Garden

I am really late at posting this visit to Umlauf Sculpture Garden. Our latest visit was in June 2025. Boogs and I have been going to Umlauf Sculpture Garden in Austin every four years since 2013. He was seven years old the first time we went. I wrote about that experience here. I made a scavenger hunt for Boogs to find certain sculptures, made a sculpture lunch, had Boogs draw his favorite sculpture, and had him use taffy to "sculpt" one of the statues. Each time we have gone back, Boogs has posed with the same sculptures. I am so glad he still likes to hang out with me. Boogs reminded me we had reached another four year mark and needed to go in Summer 2025.

The Poetess

St. Michael and Lucifer

The Diver - when Boogs was 7 years old, he was almost the exact size of  The Diver sculpture

This has turned out to be a neat tradition. I wonder if we will visit Umlauf Sculpture Garden again in 2029 for the next set of pictures.
