On the 4th of July the 5 children present (Danelle is in Utah at a summer dance intensive) headed over to Lake Alice. The fact that Miranda went with is worth noting as the times that she is choosing to hang out with the rest of the kids are becoming few and far between.
They spent about 45 minutes to an hour over at the lake and then called for the adults to come see their creation. I admit to being totally impressed. The lake has been partially drained revealing all manner of crap treasure for the kids to collect and create with.
Miranda is the primary artist of this junk sculpture. The little kids scoured the lake bottom and brought back what they found.
Miranda arranged and rearranged until she had it just right.
To quote an all time favorite movie hero.....it belongs in a museum!!!

So cool!! I am impressed. Is there an artistic engineer degree?? She would rock at that!
Structural Engineer would work too...the fact that she balanced any of that is amazing! Love her and love this! She is so beyond her years, so fascinating and interesting. I miss all of you! But lately I have such a tender spot for her. Maybe it was the special moments she and I got to have while I was there. I think more and more lately how proud Dad T is that she thinks out of the box, lives part of her life in "other places" and sees the unseeable ;) I am sure he will be around to encourage all her inspirations. Love you sis! Thanks for posting this. It is a good reminder about the importance of imagination!!!
Creative & fantastic! It should have been featured in the Daily Journal for sure! Great outlet for the kids plus it is hard to make anything that comes out of Lake Alice look this interesting.
Just looking this over again, and looking at the pictures close up. So amazing. I love the creativity you cultivated in them...and don't tell me you didn't that would be a lie. I miss my Minnesota family SO MUCH!!!
