Laguna Gloria Exhibit

We went to the Laguna Gloria once before with some friends, but we went back again today to check out an exhibit that I read about. It's been on display since September, and this was the last week to go and see it.
Sarah was drawn to this fountain when we entered the grounds. The bunny is crying, and its tears fill the well below.
This is called Looking Up. It's pretty impressive. For one thing, it's huge--even taller than the 3-story villa in the background. But it's also made out of crushed aluminum foil roasting pans, which is kind of interesting.
 But anyway, the exhibit we went to see was called "A retrospective view of the pathway, 2008-2015." I won't even pretend to understand modern art, but the kids and Sarah really enjoyed this foam machine:
The machine turns on just 3 times a week for the duration of the exhibit and churns out bubbles for 30-45 minutes.


Owen, who is very fastidious about cleanliness, hung back for the most part.
After a few minutes, even Sarah got into it.

And this is what it looked like from a distance. Whenever the wind blew, it would pick up clouds of bubbles and carry them off.
After about 20 minutes or so, the girls were soaked and cold and ready to go home. But they had a lot of fun.
