Day 170 - Edmonds Art Festival

Today was a new mini adventure for us.  The kindergarteners from Hannah's school were sining at the Edminds Art Festival.  They called them the "Kindergrads" - so sweet!  We were at home this weekend and have never been to the festival so we thought it might be fun to let her perform and then go see what there was to see.  I wouldn't call us shuttle bus people, I'm not really sure what a shuttle bus person is.  Not knowing what the parking situation would be, we took the shuttle bus.  Parking for the bus was at Edmonds Home School Resource.  I had heard of it, but didn't know where it was, turns out I have passed it a lot.  We got to the festival with plenty of time to spare, so we hung out at the kids craft area.  Soon my arms were loaded down with art projects, including a set of clay objects that we are apparently supposed to take to the clay store, like that is going to happen.  As I am writing this a week and a half later, they still have not asked me about their clay thingys, stay tuned . . .

When it was performance time, we got great seats right in the 2nd row.  Conveniently a girl who was late inserted herself into the line-up of kindergarteners, right, in front of Hannah, completely blocking her for the whole 1st song.  The performanace was very cute, it was songs that they had learned in music class. In attendance was Hannah's teacher and then pretty much the rest of the audience consisted of other kindergarten parents.  I don't think there was too much of the general public there.  Afterwards we went on a search for ice cream and looked at a few booths along the way.  It was cold and windy, but we couldn't pass up Lopez Island Ice Cream, especially since the ice cream factory store is no longer open on the island. I got in a 7 mile run, I'm officailly working on training for the Super Jock and Jill Half now. John spent some quality time up on a ladder scraping paint.
