Our last Family Day as a family of 4!

Saturday, June 5th was the big day!!!....or it was Benson's due date! Since he decided not to arrive, we decided to spend the day as a family and make it our own fun family day! It made it even better that there were two fun activities being held in Spokane that day too, not to mention it was beautiful!!!!

We spent the morning in downtown Hillyard (right by our house) where they were having a Sidewalk chalk event and contest! The kids loved it and did great! After they were done with their drawings, we decided to walk through downtown Hillyard and look through a few of the great antique shops! We have lived near this area for 6 years and have never done this before! We also figured all the walking would help "move things along!" :)



The theme of the event was "Under the Sea" so Kambria drew a picture of a mermaid, some fish, and a couple flowers. :)





After going home for lunch and relaxing a bit, we headed to the Browns Addition neighborhood in the late afternoon to enjoy Artfest. :) I have lived in Spokane all my life and have never actually been to this event! They were celebrating their 25th year. We actually drove around for about 20 minutes trying to find somewhere to park and luckily found a great spot!! Thank goodness!!!!
This guy was a "one man band" and was great! He probably would be one to get "buzzed" out on America's Got Talent, but for Artfest he was very entertaining!!! There are other instruments on his back that are hooked to strings on his feet. :)

Kambria working on her artwork. :) She painted a paper bag fish. :)




We enjoyed some very yummy ice cream cones!!!



When we were done walking around we let the kids play for a while on the playground.






It was a beautiful day for us to enjoy our last "family day" as a family of 4!!!! Next time there will be 5 of us as we are soon to welcome Benson! :)

I've lived here all my life too and have never heard of Artfest. I guess I need to become more educated on our city's events.
