Drawing in Space - Art Center

Drawing in Space is an exhibit currently on display at the Art Center. According to their website: https://www.desmoinesartcenter.org/exhibitions/drawing-in-space

this is the work of 3 artists and one artist collective: Dave Eppley, Monika Grzymala, Numen/For Use and Heeseop Yoon. Uniting these artists are explorations of line and space through large-scale, site-specific installations using a novel yet humble material, tape.

 These works are incredible and massive!

 Streching across the Art Center...and interactive, so we headed to the Art Center to check it out

 Our friend, Paisley, came along, we were able to climb inside one of the exhibits!

 Tunnels of tape!

 No shoes or sharp objects, but we were free to explore!

 It was really cool and a little strange to be crawling across tape, Trigg thought it was awesome

 Down the tunnel we go

 Selfie with Trigg!

 He is already trying to figure out how he can recreate this in his room!

 Tape, tape, tape...how cool is that!

This is a traveling exhibit, so it is only on display till late January 2018, so if you have a free afternoon you should check it out!

Center Grove Orchard

As fall rolls around, we love to head to Center Grove Orchard to pick apples, find pumpkins and have fun at the farm! All smiles from this crew as we start our adventure!

 They have a story book field complete with the billy goats gruff! Blythe finding her way over the bridge.

 We can practice planting and harvesting in their kids barn!

 And look at all those pumpkins!

 They have a giant corn pool that is always a big hit with our kids! Blythe was a little slow to warm up to sitting in the corn, but once she got used to it she had fun!

 Garrett is all in when it comes to the corn pool!

 Loving it!

 Brothers having fun!

 They also have a "blob" jumping mat that is super fun!

 And the giant slide! We ride on grain bags and go though giant culverts to slide down the huge hill. It is super fun...

 ...but a little scary the first time you go! (My favorite picture from our whole day!!!)

 Then it was off to the apple orchard to pick some apples

 B found a good apple!

 The next stop is the pumpkin patch

 My three pumpkins found pumpkins!

We love Center Grove Orchard and could easily spend a day there with all the stuff they have to do! I would highly recommend heading to Cambridge, IA for some fall fun!
