Fete Marigny

Yesterday we went to the first annual Fete Marigny in Washington Square Park. A celebration of French culture and heritage of the Marigny (the neighborhood we live in). There was art, crafts, music, food a guy on a unicycle and great kids activities.
The weather was wonderful so we stayed for quite a while listening to music, eating crepes and letting Chance create art to take home.
  He has really gotten into drawing and painting recently, he has always liked painting but until recently was not into drawing at all and really not interested in crafts too much either. Now though he wants to draw, paint or craft at every opportunity. At the Fete there was a station set up for water coloring where Chance made two wonderful works of art.
  I love how he takes him time to really feel the art and decide what he wants to put where instead of just jumping in all little kid crazy like. He also did a coloring page of a sketch of one of the actual houses on Royal Street. He took his time getting it just right. When he finishes he is very proud of his work and we are very proud of the detail and attention he gives each of his pieces. We all played Escargot too. Which is a French game a lot like hopscotch but the numbers go around in a spiral like a snail instead of in a straight line. It is harder than it looks.
  Here are his two finished water colors.
