Street chalk art....


artists who signed up in advance brought their chalk and worked within their square. Kevin thinks he might do it next year...maybe.

Kids worked in this large area. This was a rare time when it was legal for the kids to play in the streets ;o)



This is the professional artist that was brought in...she was given the middle of the street that was the most prominant visually; also the smoothest part of the street.



her finished work. This has to be hard on one's hands and knees. Kneeling to draw, smearing with the fingertips.



Mother's Day...


Anna and Penni relaxing on the swing after dessert...key lime pie and frozen vanilla yogurt



This is our new grill we purchased yesterday and used today to grill chicken breasts (oops, sorry boys...chicken boobies). Kevin assembled it right before we had to fire it up for our dinner.

OK....I see I didn't post these pictures in order....but I'm not going to take time to edit them...so this is what you get...more street chalk art...


this artist devised a prop to make him more comfortable...pretty clever



This one got Kevin's and my vote for favorite drawing.



Back to Mother's Day....


Anna and Mom

Anna is so sweet...she's just like family here



Mom talking with Kari and Trey



Kevin and Maynard...before they put on hats in the hot sun. The day started out chilly, but warmed up nicely.

Happy Mother's Day!
