Vacation Day #7 Carousels and Fountains

Men at their conference today doing business-type stuff. Nana and I head to the shopping center with the kiddies. We sprinkle shopping with carousel rides, ice cream, playground, and finally playing in the fountain.

 "I don't want to shop anymore!, I want to ride the carousel!"- Dorathea. Well I guess I'm glad that she hasn't grown out of that yet.


Stopping to smell the flowers at lunchtime;
And much joy playing in the fountain.  



Vacation day #6 Art festival Sunday

Ted and I were about to leave and Dorathea said tearfully, "Are you going to the Art Festival?", Yes sweetie", I said, "But I'mmm an artist toooo!".  It was hard to leave her but we had a lovely date lunch and enjoyed all the art stores.  But, there were so many children's activities at the festival I decided she and I should go back for a girls afternoon out at the Art festival just Mommy and Dorathea.
She painted a pink unicorn
Danced to the music.
Sculpted some clay trees while Mommy made a couple pots at the wheel.
and flew her paper airplane

A few more creations;
Shell and button frame
 Cast iron tiles;
  She carved a portrait of me, and I carved one of her.
Neat process; they poured the molten iron into the mold we drew on

Just us girls and we love to make pretty stuff.

I love my little girl.
