Each year, the first week in June, my city closes a few blocks and buildings and sets up food booths and stages and throws a big Festival of the Arts. Saturday was rainy, but Sunday was shaping up to be gorgeous (if a little warm) and we all headed out to spend a little time at Festival. And get some yummy chicken-on-a-stick.
We stopped at the Calder Stage and watched this large ballet troupe dance to a medley of tunes from the 20s. Maia was enthralled! The Joplin Rags are very catchy, and Maia was bouncing and wiggling as she turned to me and said "I want to go up there and dance with them, mom!"
Next was the Paint In.
Parker was over it pretty quickly. His favorite part was washing his hands in a big tub of soapy water.
Maia had a vision, apparently...
She worked on her painting for a while.

After that, we got some ice cream! And listened to some rock n' roll. Namely, a 12ish year old boy playing the guitar parts to various metal hits with quite a bit of skill.
Nothing wrong with a little ice cream and Ozzy.
We moved on to listen to some more music and to finish our ice cream in the shade.
Hooray for Festival!
