Sidewalk Chalk

Boy five years ago I would have said "NO WAY" on sidewalk chalk. Now as a dad it is pretty cool. The neighbor girl came over and was playing with the boys and showed them a really cool trick. If you soak the piece of sidewalk chalk in a bucket of water it turns into a paint sort of. It goes on so smooth and thick and the colors are GREAT!

    What a neat trick to know! I'll have to give it a try. Really like the last shot--they all look so "into" their work.

    Great colors as always! What's with the sidewalk chalk hate? That's the second reference I've seen to that.
