Ruth wasn't a huge fan of the Art Cars - too loud! she said, and I hadn't thought to bring the ear muffs we bought her after our ill-fated trip to see the fireworks at Oregon Ridge park. But she was a huge fan of the Art Car Lounge, with furniture made out of old auto parts. It looked sort of like my Dad's dream living room:

From there, we went to the kid-friendly sculpture garden, where the big hit was all of the crazily painted and accessorized playhouses. Ruth fell in with a gaggle of kids, including one wearing a shirt the exact same color as hers (Dad pro-tip: do not try to check your phone while keeping one eye on your child when this happens, as you will end up following the other kid around for a while before you panic).

Then, it was lunch time! Ruth wanted hot dogs, but I saw something better. Dad pro-tip: if you ask your child, "would you like hot dogs ON A STICK?" the answer will probably be yes, but you need to play up your enthusiasm.

Then, as promised, ice cream.

After ice cream, we headed over to the 80s tribute stage (this will explain the photos a bit) to see Ruth's dance teacher's rock ballet dedicated to Nina Hagen. This also included a good friend of ours, Claudia (with the red-brown hair - and yes, she always looks that stylin', but sorry boys and girls, she's married).

Ruth's comment: "They're dressed up as space people!"
After all the excitement, back to Ruth's favorite spot:

ME: No smiles?
RUTH: My feelings aren't giving me smiles right now.
