Guess what. I went on two field trips in two days! We went to the Iowa Capital and the Des Moines Art center. I will be talking about the capitol first.
On Tuesday we went to the capitol. It was exiting. I learned a lot of history about Iowa and its capitol. We learned that there was a fire because someone dropped a candle and it lit the house of representatives room on fire. They all thought it was all going to burn down. The person who dropped the candle was the one who saved the capitol. As we all know (Or as you should know) you need oxygen for fire to burn. So he made it so there where no places where oxygen could get in. So they stopped the fire and the capitol was saved. They could not use a hose because that day it was -20 degrees outside. Also it happened in 1904. We Went through almost the whole capitol. Some people wanted to go up to the Wiper Gallery. It was Up over 100 stairs in total to go up. I did not like it because i am afraid of heights and it was really high. It was fun still but i did not like it as much as other things. But i still went up. Here is a pic of the Capitol. Also if you are not from Iowa and you don't know this, Yes that is real gold on the top.

On Wednesday I went to the art center and the Sculptor park. It was all very cool. My favorite sculptor was T8. It was very cool. At first when i looked at it i thought it was just a bunch of Red metal bars but then i saw that it was more than that. There was a T and an 8 in the middle of it and then i understand it more. Then we all went to the art center. My favorite one at the art center was holy Red. I liked most of the art and it was really fun as i said before. I liked both field trip. Also if you want to go to either of them they are open Monday - Saturday thanks for reading!
