Fair AND a Festival!

Yesterday was a LOADED day. We had so much fun!! We started out our day at the Capital Hill People's Fair. It's a big event downtown. They close off a ton of streets so food, art, animal adoption, and political vendors can line them. We LOVE walking through all of the art vendors to see what creative things people come up with. One of our favorites is a man who does blown glass jewelry. A few years ago Jared bought me a pair of earring from him. There was also a woman who takes old plastic bag and fuses them to make a stronger fabric and makes really cool purses. Anyway, Cayden really had a blast being able to pet all sorts of different dogs. There was an RV with animals from the Dumb Friends League (that's where we got Houdini), There was a Great Dane Rescue where you could adopt a Great Dane (I'm surprised Cayden wanted to pet those monster dogs. Then there was a Greyhound adoption. The Great Danes and Greyhounds REALLY loved Cayden. It was super cute.

There were all sorts of carnival rides too. Cayden liked playing with the bubbles the most. After playing with the bubbles he got to plant a flower that he got to bring home. We really did have a ton of fun. Then we finished up the Fair with a snowcone. It was Cayden's first ever and he LOVED it!

Taking a snack break as soon as we walked in the gates. ; )

When we finished at the People's Fair we headed on over to The.....

Denver Chalk Art Festival

It was really cool to see all of the amazing artists. I have always seen pictures on line from chalk art festivals but I was excited that Denver actually had one so that I could see it in person. I think Jared was in heaven. His Alma Mater RMCAD was a sponsor. They had a booth set up and you could spin a wheel and win a prize. Cayden won a mini notebook with a pen. As we walked along looking at all the chalk drawings he would stop and open his notebook, scribble, and say, "I draw like them." Then he would close up his notebook and try to draw with his pen on the ground. It was very cute.

This was only one of 4 streets being drawn on.

This is one of the RMCAD drawings.

This was one of Jared's favorites because it is a drawing of a painting done by his favorite artist, William-Adolph Bouguereau.

We had such a wonderful day. I ended up a little sunburned but its worth it after such a wonderful day with my family and my big sister. Thanks for hanging with us Bethy!
