We're up and running with our camera again! Today we went downtown for the Festival of the Arts. The weather was really bad, so the crowds were a little thin. (It got up to 90 degrees with humidity--YUCK!!) We stopped for a little bite to eat first.
Then we headed to the kids' activity area. Anna got to decorate a hat--do you love our red faces?
Then we headed off to the painting area. This was a total kid-zone--no parents allowed in the painting area. I must admit we were a little anxious watching Anna be so independent! She took her work very seriously and loved every minute of it!
Unfortunately, we had a huge (the first of 2 while we were there) downpour right after painting time and her picture didn't make it through all that water. Anna talked about painting later in the day, but didn't really think anything about not bringing her picture home, but I was VERY disappointed.
Yes, like every time we take the bus downtown, it rained on our walk home. Anna had her raincoat on and found this huge puddle on the sidewalk on our way home. She spent about 5 minutes running around in it and splashing! It was probably her favorite activity of the day. She was soaked when we got home. (Yeah, this is the same girl who never wants to take a bath!)
We may head back downtown to take in a few more musical performances tomorrow morning. (Maybe if the crowd isn't too big Anna can paint again. It's actually for 4-8 year olds, but we didn't know that when we did it and they didn't object.)
