Hamilton Sculpture Garden


ASAM 2011 kiddos on a snake sculpture

Awhile back the kids and I got together with a few of the families from Phil's class and checked out the Hamilton Grounds for Sculpture. It is a beautiful, sprawling outdoor display of sculpture, set in some really pretty gardens. A day of art and culture would be great for our young children, right?



Unfortunately, they have published quite a few rules. Seriously, folks. Who puts a sculpture like this into a garden and then tells people NOT to walk through it???

Claire, breaking a rule

We had a fabulous time hanging out with friends, seeing priceless works of art, strolling through lush gardens, and definitely NOT chasing peacocks. :)

And see that little red-headed boy? Yeah, he definitely DIDN'T take a swim in one of the water features there. Though it was hot outside, so really one couldn't blame him if he did.

About to test the water

Well whatever. Even if we did break a rule or three, we all had a nice time. And I know my kids enjoyed the views.

Cool place. Rules are meant to be broken, right? Ha ha. Love that last pic of the girls-so sweet.

You always have such lovely pictures. I enjoy seeing all of "your" adventures. The kids looked very respectful at all times to me, actually.
