Weekend in Olympia

Last weekend I took the kids down to visit my Dad and Catherine. Olympia had a big art walk going on down town over the weekend. A lot of local artists were displaying their art in all the stores and they had a big parade on Saturday. My brother Joshua had some of his drawings and pottery in one of the stores too. I picked up me niece Emily on my way to my dad's house Friday afternoon so the cousins could have a big slumber party and play together. It was a lot of fun, but I came home exhausted! Having to keep track of 4 small kids in a busy crowed is a lot of work!
Having Emma and Emily together is like seeing twins running around. They both wanted to have their hair done the same way on Saturday and both had to wear dresses with flowers on them.

Everyone waiting for the parade. We arrived 2 hours early to save a spot on the curb. We chose a spot right across from the toy store. My dad would take two kids at a time to the toy store to keep the kids busy, while I stayed and saved our spot. The parade was a lot of fun and the kids really loved it!


They closed off all down town Olympia and had buckets and buckets of sidewalk chalk everywhere for people to just take and drawl on the street. The streets were covered in drawings, it was really neat! Emily and Emma standing next to their chalk outlines.
