Spring Arts Festival 2009

This weekend was the Spring Arts Festival downtown. We went this morning before lunch, but we didn't realize that it didn't really open until 1pm! But that's ok, because a)we weren't going to buy anything anyway; and b)there were a lot fewer people there than  usual!

I strolled along, 

while Lela rode on Daddy's shoulder.

(This gave her easy access to his cap... Silly Lela!)

We saw all kinds of art, like sculptures...

... and pottery ...
 

... photography ...

 ... paintings ...

... and these cool kid-friendly prints.

Lela liked this booth too, she kept pointing to and naming all the animals she recognized.

"Turtle!"

"Froggy!"

There were some hand carved rocking chairs too, so I took a little break for a snack.

And then we stopped at the beach.

Just kidding, it was a painting of the beach, see?

Lela and I took a little time for a sisterly hug on a bench before heading home.

We had a good time! Next year we'll remember when it opens, so that we can do the fun kid stuff, like get our faces painted.
