Art in the Park

We attended South Portland's annual Art in the Park Show earlier this month. The show is held in Mill Creek Park, an area that we visit often to have a picnic and to feed the ducks around the pond. Art in the Park features original art and photography by over 185 artists. The artwork is displayed under tents around the pond and throughout the park. It is visually stunning!

Grace loved holding Eve at the park during a music concert by Rick Charette, who is a famous Maine children's singer and songwriter. Grace and Eve are so incredibly sweet together! I love how much Eve loves being with her big sister.

Grace and Jack participated in the Kids in the Park portion of the show. Kids in the Park is an area designated for children where they can make their own artwork. In the picture above, Grace is working on making a knapsack. Grace's picture appeared in our local newspaper showing her making this knapsack. I'll post Grace's newspaper picture tomorrow. Yeah, Grace!

Jack loved all of the art materials at the knapsack table. His tiny fingers worked so hard to make a beautiful knapsack. Jack and Grace also enjoyed getting their face painted at Kids in the Park.

Jack couldn't wait to put his knapsack on once it was finished. Jack proudly wore it around the park for everyone to see!

This picture of Grace was taken during the Rick Charette music concert. I love what a free spirit our Gracie girl is!

Eve loved Art in the Park. Eve is now crawling (!!!!!!) and she enjoyed crawling on the grass during Kids in the Park. Eve kept squealing so that everyone would look at her!

Jack admired all of the tents around the pond.

Grace was amazed by how large the Black-Eyed Susan flowers were in the flower garden at Mill Creek park.

Grace and Jack really enjoyed talking to a little girl named Ella, who had her art displayed at the show. Grace and Jack talked about having their own art tent at the show some day, just like Ella!
