The Kid saw:

I took this photo in Amsterdam, in the Jordaan neighborhood. It’s upside down feet sticking up from the back terrace! Ha ha ha ha ha! It’s funny because who puts feet on their back terrace? I mean, it’s just very silly. And it’s in one of the modern buildings. I think that’s pretty cool, because how often do you see feet sticking up from a back terrace?

The Dad saw:

Those funny mannequin legs sticking up in the terrace in The Kid’s photo reminded me of some of the public art we saw in Vondelpark. It’s the largest park in Amsterdam and it’s like Prospect Park in Brooklyn — sprawling and easy going. There’s lots of kid-friendly art scattered around the park, and when we saw this sculpture of the clown doing a handstand, The Kid ran right up to it, and decided to do their best imitation.
