3.2.1. BLAST OFF!

'The City"
a different background than we are used too.

While Mawgs and Pops were here we took them to "The City" for some culture. The Annual arts festival was in full swing. Artists from around the country and the world came to showcase their treasures. To keep the kids involved and immersed in the art yin and yang the festival offered a Creation Station where kids could take a length of fabric and tie it to a structure adding their piece to the greater whole. I assume the ultimate goal here was world peace. However, my boys thought this fabric would be put to better use around their heads and waists helping to create an art "ninja look." Soon my very social duo had many boys in costume prepared to roll down the hill and play whatever boy game they had in mind.


I don't think the art festival had my boys in mind.


We enjoyed ourselves though. It was so fun to sit in the shade and watch the boys play. It was so nice to be with family, family we love, on a beautiful Spring day.

Yes, I would have loved to go back to the festival on a date with Mike. We would've held hands, admired the art, and shared a Strawberry Newport as we listened to some music, whispered sweet nothings in each others ears and stolen a smooch every once in a while. We could have lived the experience that was intended. It would have been very picturesque.

But I don't think I would change what actually happened. What took place was quite picturesque too, and much more our speed...

Mike ended up throwing are children, high in the air.

A pure, simple joy of childhood that doesn't last long enough.
Fun Fun Fun!

I love those kids
....and that handsome dad.
