Danica, Chance and the kiddos and Greg came over to spend the day with us today at Acorn Valley. Danica and family came for lunch and we had hot dogs and sloppy joes. Greg came over later. For dinner we had a pot roast with carrots and potatoes.
Danica decided we should head over to check out the Arboria at the Cowle's Commons in Des Moines.
This Arboria is dedicated to the theme of ‘trees’. Each outer dome bears its own stylized leaf motif rendered in graphic simplicity to fit the underlying shape of a stellated dodecahedron. Triangulating the main dome the visitor will encounter three tree-like structures where cones and spheres combine to create a brightly luminous tree trunk and branches that reach over their head
It is an inflatable walk-in structure from the United Kingdom and is half the size of a football field! The structure includes light, color and sound. This inflatable structure is for all ages. It offers a dazzling maze of winding paths and cavernous domes. Everyone is invited to lie down, wander, or just sit to enjoy the beauty.
Today we went to see Tommy's football game. He is number 9 in the grey shirts. They won the game 16-12 so that was excellent!
Went to Tommy's football game (they won 16-12); Went to DQ to celebrate; Went to to Chick-Fil-A for lunch; Went to Downtown Des Moines to “Arboria” Luminarium at Cowles Commons; Ate supper at Danica and Chance's.
After the game we headed over to Dairy Queen to celebrate!
