Weekend Update...Better Late than Never!

The Bruces had a fun-filled weekend downtown! Saturday we headed to Moore Square to check out the Sparkcon/Visual Arts Exchange street painting festival. So cool! Hundreds of artists, a lot of them high school students, were chalking amazing artwork on the street. V joined in on the fun.
OK, so we really outlined her and let her draw "snakes" on the sidewalk while we attempted to channel our artistic sides. Turns out, we're not all that artistic. Does this look anything like her?

Next we headed to the Bugfest at the Natural History Museum a few blocks down the road. The place was off the hook. V got a bee stamp on her hand and was happy as a clam. Thank goodness we have a few more years before she cries to get her face painted or jump in the bouncy things- those lines were crazy! Anyway, the most interesting thing we saw was:

Yes, that man is covered in bees. I was a little afraid she'd have nightmares about it, but she loved it.

We wrapped up the day at Marbles. V was having a "daddy day" and this was a sweet picture that kind of sums it all up:


Great weekend!

Is "anonymous" really Emily? Did you post that about yourself? I mean, really.

Just kidding - you are stunning. And your weekend sounds just dreamy.

I am not nearly that self-confident. :)
