Whew! What a weekend! Saturday morning, we collected our backyard neighbor Anna, and drove to Forest Grove Oregon for the Sidewalk Chalk Festival! This is a celebration of non-permanent art. People of all talents and ages come to decorate the sidewalks, enjoy other people's art, listen to live music, and have fun!
We arrived by 9:30, picked up our chalk, found our squares, and got started! Check out our creations here- Chalk Art Kids, and Chalk Art Adults. I took a lot of pictures of the castle Zoe and Anna made because it changed so much. It was a great experience.Other activities included face paint, balloon art, live music, and puppet shows. Part of the fun of this experience is taking a break and seeing what other people are creating. Everything from portraits of Obama, to kids' fire rescue scenes, to harvest themes, and fantasy/gothic imagery.
By the end of the day, it was hard to leave our art behind and say goodbye. Anna was worried we'd be there too long and she would get bored, but at the end she didn't want to leave either.
