Summer festival season has begun and we couldn't be happier.  We almost didn't make this one due to tackling some home ownership issues. (I am tellin' you, folks, I'm still ambivalent about home ownership.)  In the end my husband shooed the girls and I out the door for a few hours for some distraction and fun.  The arts fest provided both.  

The first band we heard was a little trippy to be honest but when the next began to warm up we were so glad we hung around.  

Nitrogen ice cream!  Not sure if it is altogether much different from the regular variety but it definitely makes for some visual impact!  Bubblegum please, said the girls.  I remember choosing that myself when my Gram would take me to Baskin Robbins back in the day.  So good. 

We bought some art, we made some art, we listened to some art.  Summer is off to a very good start.
