Sidewalk Art Festival

Saturday we decided to check out

the Savannah Sidewalk Arts Festival.

We had never been

and since Jake was playing golf

for a missions fundraiser,

we invited our friends Katie & Annabelle,

and headed out.

It's put on by SCAD

(Savannah College of Art and Design)

and I can honestly say,

it was top notch!

 

Katie snapped this pic of us!

Whoo hooo, I'm actually IN a picture!!

 

There was lots to do and see.

The girls eyed the hammocks

right off the bat

and enjoyed playing on them.

It was hard to lure them away...

the morning weather was just perfect for lounging

under the big oak trees!

 

Annabelle wanted to do a funny face.

Too precious not to share ;-) 

Among the sidewalks brightly colored

with designs

and enough bounce houses and slides

to appease even the pickiest kid,

was a children's tent

with loads of activities.

The kids went around the world,

participating in games and crafts to

earn stamps on their passports.

The kids loved

the busyness

of the activity

while I appreciated all the special

photo ops!

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

 

Crista proving she can hang with the best of them.

Even in a foreign language ;-)

 

 The sidewalk art

was nothing less

than impressive.

We walked all around Forsyth

watching the artists at work

and coming back to see the completed piece.

For some reason,

our sidewalk art at home NEVER looks like theirs!

 

We had a wonderful picnic lunch on the green

and ended the day with

some yummy ice cream from Leopold's.

We had the best day

and so thankful we got to spend it with

great friends.

We will most definitely be

making this

an yearly trip.

Next time,

we'll bring the dads!
