Rock Hunt

We have a fun game going in our neighborhood. A couple of families have painted rocks and hidden them in plain sight for us to find on walks. The baseball one below had particularly creative placement.

Whimsical Guard

An elephant has appeared next to this Little Library. Not sure if you can sit on it or maybe it's guarding the books.

Celebrating the Creators

I find Maker Faire Kansas City a unique showcase of practical and crazy things people create themselves — from electronic gizmos to urban farming to sculptures. It demonstrates what and how people are inventing, making and creating for a faire full of fun and inspiration. You can see a human elephant, geeks playing with a LiteBrite, kids learning to steer robots and so much more. It is delightful!

The guys below are creating props from floor pads. Just a couple of kids with a lot of ingenuity. He's holding an arm like you might find in a Marvel movie.

Pumpkin Art

Door County artists produced clever pumpkin art.

Mount Up

Who wouldn't have loved to watch Mom, Vala and me get on this elephant. Yes, it's a live elephant. Grandma was 88 years old! It was a Friends of the Zoo event.
