I Madonnaria

This weekend we went to Santa Barbara. It is a beautiful town. The ocean, the palm trees, the colorful coastal flowers and the hills. I loved everything about it. The only bad thing, is there isn't much to do with a family. But luckily, this weekend the Santa Barbara Mission had their I Madonnaria festival where artists come to draw chalk art in front of the mission. It was colorful and so artsy! They even had a section for kids to get their own square of concrete and chalk and make masterpieces of their own.

Hannah did a great job of drawing lines and circles and mom and dad added our own drawings. The best part for Hannah was smudging her artwork with the palm of her hands and blending it all together. (the picture of her masterpiece is before the smudging began). Oh, and throwing the pieces of chalk on the ground and watching them break into pieces. Mom and dad had fun helping out too.

I will add more of our trip (little by little) as I get the pictures edited and up. But for now I hope you enjoy these!
