The Lion King Musical

We were fortunate to get tickets for the very popular traveling show of The Lion King. The costumes, props, and music bring a new dimension to the movies that we love.

Palisades-Kepler State Park

We went hiking at Palisades-Kepler State Park near Cedar Rapids. The autumn leaves were gorgeous, and the weather cooperated for the most part. It was our first time visiting this park, and it was worth the drive.

Bike Ride Over New Bridge

The family went on a bike ride through the southern part of Ankeny, crossing over the recently-built Oralabor Gateway Connector bridge that crosses Oralabor road. We explored trails that we have never been to before, learning more about the parts of town we don’t often get to visit.

Lewis & Art exhibition at Reiman Gardens

Even though we have been visiting the Reiman Gardens for years, there are always new art exhibitions on display. This amazing sculpture made from recycled materials is created by the artist, Dale Lewis and is part of his traveling exhibit, Lewis and Art exhibition.
