appleton arts festival

I'm way behind on updating the blog..but I am attempting to catch up a bit and post pictures from the last part of our summer. These pictures are from the Appleton Arts festival which was mid July. We have been out of town during the festival the past two years...but this year managed to attend on a Sunday afternoon. We took a look at the booths and gave the kids a chance to check out the children's art yard. I of course was sad not to be participating...I miss doing festivals so much...someday I will get back to it.

I love these pictures of the kids ...nothing better than being outside enjoying a festival...

& throwing a bit of paint around.

check out the intensity on that girls face.. :)

Jaxon's masterpiece

i'm not really a photographer,

but I am loving the whole reflection in the mirror bit in these photos

of course maggie had to get in on the action

jax requested a turtle for his face painting.....

i know i'm his mother, but isn't that a handsome face :)

trying not to smile

lia requested a lily (so sweet) - it turned out super cute too...especially with her pink dress

and of course some of the kiddos playing in the fountain...so fun
