Caricature and Carousel

My mother had a little Valentine's Day gift inspiration.   At the mall, the 2010 ArtPrize winner, Chris LaPorte, has been doing 3 minute caricatures. Better than a toy, because it'll last longer, right? 

So we met my mother at the mall, and got the kids captured in no time flat...


Parker

Maia

Ray thought they were kind of funny, and thought it would be even funnier to get one of himself.  Yeah. We think it turned out much funnier!

We also took a little time to have some lunch and go on a couple carousel rides before it got too busy.  Maia and Grandma went once.

And I went with her once.  And she giggled. A Lot.  And asked a lot of questions about the horses...

... and the music, and the people, and giggled some more. 

(Love how she's actually mugging for the camera here.)

And after an hour or so of fussing, Parker finally did this.
