Summerfest Tradition (Minus Daddad)

Since we first moved to Logan we have a tradition of going to the  Summer-fest Art Fair every summer. It's sad to think this may have been our last Summerfest. It was also a bit sad that Char had school, work, school, work, and work. (Being gone from 6:00 am to Midnight does that I guess).

The two of us still managed to have a lot of fun. She found some beautiful metal work that she fell in love with. She thought this butterfly was the coolest thing ever. She adored the metal work. She told the artist "You must love what you do, because you make a lot of art. My Momma gets board with her quilting if she has to make too many of the same blocks. You made tons of art on metal, which must be hard work - so you must love it!
The artist then showed her his favorite art pieces or how some of the paces could change colors in the different lighting. 
We wandered around and Heidi Anne got to help some of the artist get set up for the show (we mistakenly went about an hour earlier then the show was really supposed to start. One of her favorite artist was this nice lady, Heidi Anne loved her art work. Heidi Anne would look at a painting and told the artist it looked like a cloud, that looked like a horse, during a "Bee-U-T-E-F-U-L" sunset. The artist said that's exactly what inspired her to paint it. Heidi Anne told her she could see how much hard work she put into her art. 

Heidi Anne and the "Pretty Artist Lady" 

For the rest of the day and night Heidi Anne talked about the pretty artist lady. She even colored a picture for her and wanted to go back the next day to give her a picture. The next morning, I took her to give the drawing to the artist. Heidi remembered exactly where her booth was, ran to it, and proudly gave the artist her picture. She told the artist "You inspired me to color this and I wanted to give it to you." The artist told Heidi Anne that was the first time she'd ever been given an artwork from someone else. She wanted a picture with her sweet new friend. 

After visiting the "Pretty Artist Lady" we went to the Kids Craft section of the Art Fair, where kids  could make their own bubble wands, cards for Father's Day, among other little crafts. She was in high heaven. The only thing that could have made it better is if they had paints available.

Soo Sleepy...

Then we continued our exploring of the different artist. But she was starting to get a bit tired. We wrapped up our adventure with another tradition, funnel cake. Every year just before we leave the Art Show we get a funnel cake and share it. We go sit under the shade and listen (she dances) to the live music playing. She missed Daddad being there, yet she was more then willing to eat "his share of the cake." 

FUNNEL CAKE!!
