We are so blessed to live right next to Grand Rapids, MI and all that it has to offer. Today we went and checked out some of
ArtPrize. What a beautiful day to walk downtown and look at art!
One thing that became obvious real fast is that we would never be able to see as much as we would like to in one trip so we are hoping to get back next week and see more. I especially want to get to a local artist,
Lisa Lehmann. She makes beautiful
silver jewelry and has taken her amazing talent and branched out into art displays.

We started at the Gerald R Ford Museum to see
"Grizzlies on the Ford" and they did not disappoint.

Anna thought I just had to have a picture with this running girl "
Yellow Streak" since I ran a 10k this morning before we headed out. I never go fast enough though to make my hair fly out behind me. Wink!

My baby is getting so old. I couldn't resist taking a picture of her. Isn't she beautiful?

A lady offered to take our picture while I was getting a picture of the girls. I'm so glad she offered. I love family pictures even if we are missing the big kid. Opening day of bow season was more attractive.

I know it is supposed to be about the art but I love taking every opportunity to get pictures of my kids because they aren't always so willing.
"Metal Monkey Mania" on the Blue Bridge is getting a lot of publicity around here. I love how whimsical they are.
Hopefully the weather this next week will behave and allow us to get back one evening to see some more of ArtPrize without the crazy amount of tourists in the area.
