I took my daughter in law to the Arboretum for a Birthday adventure in mid May, and we were delighted to see the Gary Lee Price, "Celebrate the Children", Bronze Sculpture Exhibit. Mr Price has had exhibits at the Arboretum in the past, but this was our first experience seeing one. The hand crafted bronze sculptures are scattered throughout the gardens.
Mr. Price's exhibit includes 25 sculptures that depict joyous children of all ages (many are of his own children) celebrating life. They are so life like and you just cannot help but smile when looking at them. My pictures were taken just before the noon hour at peak sun, so they are not as clear as I would like, but you can still get a feel for the artists depiction and it is a great representation of children just being children.
Here are a few of the "Celebrate the Children" Exhibit.

| This young farmer is picking vegetables from the garden. The Arboretum has a table set up for samples of recipes they make from the food they grow. Today's ingredient was white beans. We had white bean and strawberry ice cream. Surprisingly good! |

| That is one strong girl to get that much height. |

| Cartwheels in the Park. |

| That is how many kids end up after attempting a cartwheel. |
We had such a great day in the gardens, and the adorable Gary Lee Price Bronze Exhibit made it all that much better.
