The Sidewalk Chalkathon

As mention last week, this week at the Annmarie Garden they are hosting 'The Sidewalk Chalkathon'. Today Tyler and I ventured out and took part in the cool event. First we registered Tyler for his own work of art. The cost to participate was only $1, which goes to charity. The walk along the sidewalk to get to our designated spot was really neat. There were lots of colourful pictures drawn, many of them really good. However when we finally arrived to Tyler's area, he only drew for a little bit, mostly making a 'M for Mommy' and a few more doodles. The garden was offering the "Paint your own Gourd" again, so Tyler wanted to paint another. He loves painting and decided to make this gourd a rainbow coloured one. It will be really exciting to see what they are going to do with all the gourds people have painted. The sign say they are for a giant exhibit. We will definitely have to return again to see Tyler's gourds. Anyway, here are a few photos from the Chalkathon. The caterpillar is our favourite because it looks like the caterpillar in our book, 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle.
