Field Trip

I had visitors on Wednesday through Friday this week, my niece, her friend and my little sister,Beth. The first picture is the two girls doing mosaic on my picnic table with the outdoor cat, Celia. Beth bought a large box of souvenir plates from the Twice is Nice store in Lake Mills. The girls broke them up with a hammer in the garage and then were glueing the pieces together. Each of the girls painted a lion on a rock with acrylic paint. They did that two years ago when Olivia had visited Iowa before. St. Paul has got to be aqut a different culture than my little town.
We went on a fieldtrip to Mason City and I showed them around. The next photos are from the various places I took them, the MacNider Art Museum and Music Man Square where you see the sculpture of Meridith Wilson (who I found out wrote the Iowa Fight Song...We are going to fight, fight fight for Iowa....). Inside Music Man Square there is an ice cream fountain so we had some ice cream. It is fun to see your community through the eyes of a visitor.
