Sidewalk Chalk Festival

Yesterday, our First Official Day of Summer Vacation was kind of a bummer. Kiera didn't feel very good, so we ended up spending most of the day just puttering and hanging out around the house. We were happy to have a visit from Granny, and Kiera began perking up. For dinner we went to Cafe Rio but then Kiera started not feeling good again. So...it was a rather quiet day.

But today made up for yesterday. Kiera woke up feeling back to normal, and we were ready to have some fun!

My endlessly creative neighbor and friend Kate (over at www.mykidseatoffthefloor.blogspot.com) invited some of the neighborhood kids to a Sidewalk Chalk Festival in her yard. Lots of friends, chalk, popsicles and lemonade. And perfect weather. Just what we needed!










Then this afternoon, Kiera and her friends set up a Teddy Bear Preschool and had a blast playing. Later, we headed over to the library for a puppet show. Then we worked a bit in the yard and went to a neighborhood wedding reception outside. Now THIS is the kind of summer day we've been looking forward to!
