Newport on the Levee Art Show

Yesterday was such a great day!! The sun was shining...the temp was perfect...the breeze was devine!! What a wonderful day after so many gloomy rainy days!!

Arlee had a Girl Scout outing to Scarsborough Fair Pottery. Her troop was working with an older troop as a requirement for bridging. She made 2 small vases. We will be able to get them back at a later date from her troop leader...after they have been fired and such. I can't wait to see them!! She's now asking for a potter's wheel! :)

After I dropped Arlee off for her Girl Scout outing, I ran back home. Made lunch while Danny moved some wood out in our yard. After we all finished eating, we headed over to my IL's to visit for a bit. We were running a little late, so it wasn't long after we arrived, Danny ran up to pick up Arlee. It's right down the street. He took his mom along to give her a ride in our new minivan.

We all were enjoying some yummy smoothies out on Danny's parent's back deck. They just got one of those Magic Bullet blender/choppy things...and it was GREAT for the smoothies!! They were so very good! And great on a day like yesterday!

Danny, Arlee, and I then headed down to Newport on the Levee for an Art Show going on in the Mall. Out in the square, there was a guy up on stilts, and a guy doing some street magic! After a bit, we headed inside to look around! One of the first booths we found was the facepainting one! What the artist created was beautiful and amazing!! And she did it in like less than 10 mins!!















































Arlee had such a great time walking around looking at everything! There was also an art gallery in the Mall as well. So, of course, we walked thru there as well! I told her, "you never know...soon we might see YOUR stuff up on those walls!"


Danny bought Arlee 2 prints of these really nice paintings. She really was drawn to them. Now we just have to get her some frames...and find a place on her walls for them!

After hitting up the pirate store, we headed outside to take in the scenic view of Cincy! Plus the clouds were amazing looking over the bridge...










































So that was our yesterday! It was just such a wonderful day!
