Our Favorite!

Every Summer we look forward to one event more than any other. The Chalk Art Festival! It wasn't our first, nor our second, not even our third time going. This year was the fourth year in a row that Aaron and I have been.



I have to say though that this time I walked away a little disappointed.

It may have been due to the rain. Although it brought out two cool rainbows.




Or the fact that Gelazzi our favorite gelato place had closed down and moved to Houston. At least they had a little stand so we were still able to get a yummy treat.




Although as I look back at the photos we took I am not really sure why I was disappointed, because there were some pretty cool drawings.




Now of course the highlight of the night was sneaking into the Kids Corner, stealing chalk, and making our own creation. We have always done our hand prints. This year with the new addition to the family we traced the new hand (Well we pretended to trace his hand. Also Sorry your E is pink Ethan, it was the only chalk we could find.)




And now I will leave you with a photomontage of my son, because who wouldn't want to stare at him all day :)

Chalk Art 2009

Saturday we headed back to the annual La Piazza Italian chalk art festival!
It was the 3rd year in a row that we have attended.






And I have to say that chalk art 2009 was a success!

We saw it all! From the "psychedelic baby"...

...to the many faces of the chalk art festival.

Even boy genius here... he is only 9 years old! He said that his design was some character from Alice in Wonderland. I was thinking it was one of Floop's Flooglies from Spy Kids- which by the way is one of my all time favorite movies!

Of course we stopped for Gelato. This was the Italian art festival!

And this year we added some extra cheesiness to our original design. Not only did we go with the hands but we added a heart this year.

I also took the chance to get in some window shopping. But only window shopping because...

Chalk Art

On Aaron and I's third date we went to the chalk art festival held at Larimer Square in downtown Denver. Well this past weekend the festival was back in town and we just had to go back! I think it may become a tradition as long as we live in Denver. Our favorite part of the festival is when we sneak into the kids corner and add our own design. We have considered entering the festival but as you can see below we may need to get in a little more practice time first :)
