Solamente chalk

Today we headed out to the
i madonnari event.

I'm always so amazed by things like this in part because I am so not artistic or crafty.

It's simply amazing to see what people can do with mere chalk.

We ran into our friends Ellie, Lara and baby Luca which was a pleasant surprise.

This lady offered the girls to help color in some petals down towards the bottom of her picture.

I don't think she realized that 3-year olds don't exactly color within the lines. I apologized for the scribbling and she said it was okay and that she would "fix it later after we left."

There were chalk renditions of a number of famous paintings including those by Diego Rivera, Michelangelo and Edvard Munch, but this was Katie's favorite by far...

The cuisine was very non-fair like and consisted of roasted chicken plates, calamari, pasta, gelato and cappuccino.

No pretzels, cotton candy, hot dogs or churros (a.k.a. Katie food) here. I had told Katie we'd get a treat and I was getting a bit worried.

I finally found a little ice cream cart hiding out. The only ice cream they had that wasn't coffee-flavored or Cherry Garcia was this ginormous cone. Katie was quite pleased.
