We had the perfect weather for our outing last week to Dr Evermor's Sculpture Park. 🎨☀️ We had so much fun exploring the park and taking in all of the wonderfully unique artwork.

Afterward, we hopped across the highway to visit the Badger Army Ammunition Museum. It was a fascinating look into the area’s history, and the curator was incredibly knowledgeable and informative!

What a fun day filled with art, history, and great conversations! 🥰

It’s National Gorgeous Grandma Day! We celebrate these beautiful ladies every day but today was a perfect reason to make the day feel extra special, we did makeup, nails and hair with some of these beauties and fun was had by all! 🩷
