On Tuesday, the boys and I went to Garfield Park to check out their special pirate-themed sand sculpture exhibit. Artists began working last weekend, and they will continue working on their sculptures until the middle of August. Since we visited early in the project, only the very top of a pirate ship and part of Tiki Island is completed. The artists on the left explained that their sculpture (when complete) will be a giant sea monster attacking pirates and their ship. The sculpture on the right will be a pirate ship. Quite impressive!
Sand boxes were set up around the sculptures. The boys had a great time playing in the sand and digging for gold. Two park employees taught the boys the proper technique for building a sand castle.
After playing in the sand and sun, we went inside to "paint" with sand.
In August, I hope to take the boys back to the sculptures, so they can see the completed creations.
