Back in August, we got to participate in our city's annual Chalk Art Festival. It took us quite a while to figure out what to draw--we finally decided on this fun picture we found online of a lego star wars storm trooper riding a bicycle. It was a LITTLE harder than expected to draw...but it was really fun :) We even won second place in the family division! As a reward we got those oversized movie theater mugs that you can refill for a dollar and some popcorn and candy vouchers for the movies! Fun!
It is so fun to color with chalk--so fun to mix all the colors! Once you get it on the concrete, it's so easy to smooth all the colors together to get the perfect shade or variation. However it is a MESSY job! Bridger and I were covered in chalk!!!
Poor Charlotte was confined to her stroller for the first couple of hours until relief arrived (that would be Jeremy!). She was very clever and figured out how to move her stroller around like a wheel chair--I even let her drink an entire strawberry milkshake (I know...parenting at its best!) but she still wasn't happy....I didn't really mind the screaming, but I think everyone else did! So, I had to take a break and take care of her...geesh! hee hee :) (I couldn't let her out for fear that she would smudge someone else's artwork!)
Our entry number was F9 and Bridger decided to write it on a 'sign' to get more votes. He was flinging it around like those sign holders at the car wash--and it worked!

Wow!
That is great chalk art and looked like a lot of fun. Bridger is so cute and I love the sign dancing.
That is so cute Lindsay! You make things look so easy! My art would have turned out a little more "abstract" if I would have entered I'm sure! :)
There is no limit or end to your talents - that's one reason I love you to pieces! You are amazing and I love all the chalky, dirty pictures of Bridger! He's a natural marketer!
