Waco Art Fest

This weekend the family headed to Downtown Waco for Waco's annual Cultural Arts Festival. I've wanted to go since we moved to Gatesville, and it was nice to finally go since we live in Waco now. They had a lot of fun things to do for the kids, and what's best is that all of it was free. What an amazing community event! Elizabeth painted art on canvas and she and I both painted masks. What a great way to get out into the community and be artistic. Here are some pics from our enjoyable time.

Shane and Elizabeth at the "paint table."

Our little artist at work.

Of course pink was the first color she chose.

She also wanted to write an "E" for her name. It didn't last, though. She covered it up with another color paint.

Here we are watching E paint.


She did this all by herself. She requested a color and Shane went and got it for her. What fun!

The finished product and the proud artist. This piece is now hanging in our dining room.


And here's sweet little Peyton. What a wonderful smile!

If you live in Waco or the nearby area, you should definitely try to make it next year. Fun for the whole family.
