Continuing with Jess' visit, we had many outings on her five-day stay, and one of those days we drove over to the Sculpture Park to see the giant whimsical characters. The sculptures are created from discarded scrap materials, and the artists, two brothers, shapes them into life. Among them were the Tin Man, the bright green Inchworm, the Cat, the Aliens and their UFO, and my favorite, the Giraffe. This sculpture was grand, and you can see how tall it was with Francesca standing next to it. So, here's some of the delightful sculptures we saw on the warm Summer day.
When we got home, I made a big pot of spaghetti and salad, and Jess shared the bread she bought, which was so good that it went in a day. We also had a glass of wine that night after dinner. I've had these blue wine glasses forever. They look gypsy to me.
Jess fixed my Netflix on the big screen, so we saw lots of shows when she was here. She hadn't seen the Virgin River Christmas episodes, so we enjoyed watching them. Yes, I sometimes watch Christmas shows in the Summer. ; )
My neighbors keep telling me to go see the sculptures, so now I can tell them I did! I'd love to hear which sculpture was your favorite.

The sculptures are great. For me he giraffe is impressive.
Your blue wine glasses are pretty.
Wish you a nice new week
They’re all very creative in their own unique way but I do like the giraffe the best. They sure were big! I like when artists use scraps to recycle into a sculpture. That takes skill as well as a creative imagination.
What a cool place. I’m glad you enjoyed your day.
Hello! That is an exciting place to visit!!! And what is better than a pot of spaghetti with the people you love! I love to watch Christmas and Halloween movies in the summer. : )
Wow, they are amazing, and so huge! I think my favorite is the giraffe, too. Did one person make all of them, or is it different artists?
So there is actually a place called Sculpture Park - lol - I can see why. It is hard to pick, but 1 is the giraffe, 2 caterpillar, and 3 is that a cat or mouse? They were all very cute.
The photo of the 3 girls was so sweet.
I love the blue wine glasses - they look so fragile.
Sweet your daughter got Netflix going for you.
I love to watch Christmas in July - because you can pretend that you are in snow - as it is soooooooooo hot here.
Nice post - I know you had a terrific time.
The giraffe is my favorite, I cannot believe how big they all are. What a fun day of exploring.
Such creativity at the Sculpture Park, Sheri! How nice you had a visit there with Jess and the grands. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I like the giant grasshopper and inch worm. Love seeing your beautiful blue skies and I like your pretty blue wine glasses. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.
Dearest Sheri,
That giraffe is humongous!
LOVED the green caterpillar.
It is fun to walk around at such a park and especially with children.
Hugs,
Mariette
Those sculptures are just fantastic, Sheri! Oh, I bet they were a huge hit, too. I loved them all -- a very fun and creative park. Your dinner sounds good and the movies, too! I'm so glad you've had a good visit!
the whimsical characters are very cute. I'll bet your granddaughter really had a good time. We have a place called grounds of sculpture with more artistic pieces some by famous artists.
I love that you got to see the sculptures. I especially liked the worm and giraffe, but they are all fun.
Yes, to Christmas show anytime of the year. I do that too. I enjoyed the Virgin River series too. Can't wait for the new season to come out soon.
How beautiful and interesting these sculptures are. And I'm glad that Francesca could show us just how tall these things are. They are all my favorites!! How neat that these are all made out of scrape materials. All it takes is an imagination. I too love watching the Christmas movies any time of the year. I know you had a fantastic week and now we are getting to enjoy some of the fun you all had through your post...
The scupture park is cool. I have driven by but never stopped. I like the giant flying saucer. Hallmark has Christmas shows now and we have been watching a few of them. It helps us feel cooler! It was smoking hot here the last few days. I am thinking of fall, But not ready to go back to work. Enjoy your week Sheri!
Călătorie grozavă, îmi plac foarte mult sculpturile. Omul de tinichea pare să fie din Oz. Cel mai mult îmi place de el și de girafă. Vă doresc zile bune Sheri.
Me ha encantado ese gran parque de esculturas, que he podido conocer, gracias a tu gran reportaje.
Un abrazo.
Sheri - these sculptures are amazing. I adore the giraffe and the tinman. Looks like you had a wonderful visit with Jess and the grandchildren. They are really growing up fast. Take care and have a lovely week. Hugs!
Sheri the sculptures are amazing. My favorite is the giraffe. Jess and the girls look great. Bet you enjoyed every minute of their visit. Well take care friend and have a good start to July. Hugs!
Wow! Those sculptures are magical! I like the cricket.
The giraffe is so tall! Can you imagine it in your front yard!?
That was a fun post, Sheri. I'm sure you all had fun that day. My fave sculpture was the giraffe. Wow, he was TALL! Thanks for sharing part of your beautiful week with your daughter and beloved granddaughters. Hugs. Susan
The sculpture park is wonderful!
Kudos to them for the pioneering idea.
I really liked the one with the alien!!
Glad you had nice moments with pasta and wine!!
Have a nice day Sheri!!
The Sculpture Park sounds fascinating, Sheri!
The giraffe is incredible, and I love the creativity of using scrap materials for art.
Your spaghetti dinner and movie night with Jess sound perfect too.
Hugs and blessings 🌹
Oh, I wish I could have seen this in person. I've always wondered if Virgin River is worth watching. Have you also seen The Sullivan's Crossing?
I am not sure I could pick a favorite but I sure enjoyed seeing them. Some po people are so creative.
Loved the spaceship! I'm an Alien freak...lol
Is the Virgin River series good? I'll check it out!
hugs
Donna
Sounds like you had a great time with Jess and getting your Netflix fixed was just icing on the cake!
Checking on you my friend.
