Chalk Walk 2013

Our family went to the Chalk Walk in downtown Round Rock and had a fun afternoon.  This is the 3rd or 4th year I've taken some of the kids and they always love it.  This year we brought our whole family.
Connor loved the snake drawing...of course.
There are various activities for the kids to do and Savannah always rocks the hula hoops.
 One of my former young women from church was doing a piece.  We saw it when it was pretty close to being finished.  Great job Jamie!
 
 All of the kids except Landon tried out the drums for a while.
 The chalk artists can choose to use either the street or a special board.  This way the chalk art can be sold at the end.  My friend Becky is an amazing artist and I loved her "Round Rock version" of an old Norman Rockwell painting. 
 The kids can do a small square for $3.  Savannah has always wanted to but we've never had time before.  I promised her she could do it this year.  She was really bummed that her best friend was out of town, because they wanted to do it together.  But luckily Daddy filled in to help.  She didn't have a plan before hand, she just started drawing.
 She ended up with an apple tree and some fireworks in a beautiful sky.
 Our friend and bishop is the one who started the chalk walk.  He is an artist and owns art schools in the area.  We got to see his work in progress, but he was gone coaching his daughter's soccer game.  The artists have 2 days to complete their work.
 At the end we listened to a steel drum band for a while before heading home.  It was a fun afternoon!
