Grand Rapids ArtPrize 2011

Last Friday evening, Aunt Stephanie, the girls and I traveled back to Grand Rapids to check out ArtPrize 2011. Our trip last year was so much fun, we couldn't wait to go again. Luckily the weather was so much nicer this year and the crowds weren't as challenging because we went earlier in the evening. My friend, Katie, put together this fantastic Kids Tour of ArtPrize that we used to find the most exciting exhibits for Annie and Lauren.

Annie loved everything about ArtPrize. She happily sat in her stroller for about three hours, just kicking her feet and singing away. We really think she just loved watching all the people and looking at everything around her. She was pretty excited to pose in the grass for this photo too.

Notice the wooden bears in the fountain? They were one of the many art exhibits.

Lauren checking out the tire of this huge Tonku truck.

Aunt Stephanie and Lauren were watching a puppet show. I love their poses and outfits!

Lauren taking part in the mustache exhibit. She always tells us when she has a milk mustache, so this was pretty fun for her. If you have a chance to check out ArtPrize 2011, I think it runs for one more week. The spectacular art and ease of Grand Rapids, make the trip worth it!
