We went to the Eastern Oregon Arts Festival in the morning. There were some really neat painted pictures and some amazing photographs. I could have stayed and admired all the artwork a lot longer than my girls were able to stand.
The sun makes this hard to see, but the kids love face cut outs. Whitney especially liked that this famous painting is found in a Boy Meets World episode.
Adding their hands to the tree.
There were some fun things for the kids to do. Here they got to decorate "fossils" - or shells pressed into plaster of paris.
The kids each got to pick a flower to plant. They all picked such beautiful colors. Now we will see if my lack of green thumb can keep them alive for a few days.
And eating a Popeye popsicle; these popsicles were delicious. I probably will never make them, but all my kids got their spinach in for the day. Plus there were bananas and pineapple juice and vanilla yogurt. It would make for a good smoothie also.
And obviously the hit for the whole festival was the bounce house with a slide. There weren't a lot of kids at the festival, so my kids got lots of time bouncing.
We had a fast late lunch after the festival and then we went down to the Tri-Cities. My friend from high school was in town signing her new freezer cook book. Thanks for the copy, Micah. I am excited to try new things. We decided to meet at the merry-go-round. The girls loved riding the horses.
Adam seemed not to really notice. He and I stuck to the sled. The girls had so much fun and it was good to catch up with my friend for a little while.
Afterwards, Will and I dropped the kids off with my parents and we were able to go to the temple. It was wonderful doing sealings together. Then we had a very late dinner of Greek gyros. They were delicious. I need to learn how to make them. We spent the night in Pasco. So it was very busy but very fun.
