Snap Painting

More after school fun sponsored by the S* family.

They like Popsicles, just like we do.
Only their mom makes them from yogurt and mangoes.

They are a family of 5 just like we are except they are heavy on the pink and bows instead of sweat and dirt. Don't get me wrong, they like to get down and dirty too. Just wait and see.
They are also transplants from Anchorage. The craziest part is they lived about 3 blocks away from us. We both ran the same trails with our littles in the same type of Chariot. We both took our kids to the same park near our home. We are both just over 5' with brown hair and often get mistaken for one another when out running in camp.

Zach wasn't so sure he wanted to go hang out at the girls' house. We agreed that he would come and stay for at least 15 minutes and if after that he wanted to go he could ride his bike home.

But of course painting rubber bands and snapping the paint onto the paper below proved to be worth his time.

I'm so glad he decided to stay for the first 45 minutes instead because this masterpiece ended up being my favorite of the day.

Ethan loved this so much he can't wait to teach Aunt Lauren how to do it over the summer.
(Lauren, Please start collecting small boxes now because he will be ready to rumble as soon as we get there.)
Graham decided the rubber-bands were just too complicated and just used the old fashioned paint with brush method.

Some decided body art was more their style.

No matter because after some bubbles and sand play....

they all needed a dip and rinse in the pool.

Thanks Carrie for opening your home to us as well as your backyard. We definitely left our mark.

And thanks Not Just Cute for sharing the idea with us.
