Chalk Art Festival

At my sister's recommendation, Greg and I took the kids (Gavin was at Youth Conference) to the Chalk Art Festival at the Gateway this morning.  It was so much fun!  The kids loved it.
We got there a few minutes before ten and I'm so glad we went early.  At about eleven, things really started to get busy.  We walked up and down the street and were amazed by the artists at work.  We couldn't believe the things that they could do with chalk.  The pictures were beautiful.  Kate liked the ponies, Enoch liked the postcard of Delicate Arch, Greg liked the Despicable Me pictures and I thought they were all good.

 After looking at the pictures, we picked up some goodies from the sponsors - lots of chapstick, pencils, coloring books, reusable bags, etc.  Enoch spun a wheel and won a t-shirt.  It was fun for the kids.  We also walked through Blickenstocks, a fun toy store.  The kids had fun looking and not touching!
We then hit the fountain.  The kids all wore their swimming suits and were so excited to try them out. Enoch immediately ran out and got wet, very wet.  Kate took more of a dainty approach and skirted around the water, occasionally getting slightly splashed.  Guard walked around with Dad and would clap every time the water would spray up onto him.

 

We finished the fun with a yummy lunch at Malawi's Pizza.  I love low-key Saturdays with my family!
