When we last left off from our 2024 Summer road trip, we had just left the Sauerbeck Drive-In Movie Theater where we stayed the night and were driving to Michigan. Now we're in Michigan with family for the next couple weeks!
The first opportunity she could, Grammy made her famous chicken nuggets for the kids.
Time for Day 2 of our Pasadena Chalk Festival Adventure!
It's Day 1 of the Pasadena Chalk Festival and we're all super excited to be drawing together as a family!
When we were trying to decide what to do, the kids deferred to me, saying "you always do Disney, so we should do something you like. Like Hercules." While I do love Hercules, I think we should do something that we all like. We thought on it a little more, and I don't know who it was that ultimately suggested the Pokemon and Disney collaboration, but when we heard it, we knew it was a great idea!
What would it be like if the Pokemon gang went to Disneyland and all dressed up! We started imagining what characters would go, which costumes each would wear, and all sorts of fun idea. Some haven't been implemented in the final design, but we'll see what kind of time we have when we're done.
"What about hidden Mickey Dittos! We'll call them Middos!"
"We could have Rayquaza dressed as Tinker Bell and flying over the castle!"
Whew! Some wild ideas, but let's start on Day 1.
It's the day before the Pasadena Chalk Festival, and we've got nothing to do until later tonight! Our day is our own!
To start our day, we made our way to the Colorado Street Bridge.
It's almost time for the 2024 Pasadena Chalk Festival! It's coming up this weekend, but on Thursday there's a couple important things going on. We've got to pick our spot and later tonight is the artists dinner! Sweet!
Come out to the Pasadena Chalk Festival this weekend to see us and hundreds of other artists! We’re going to do a mural with a combination of Disney and Pokémon! Pikachu is just going to be a small part of it! There’s lots of characters planned!
All the artists are asked to donate a 1’x1’ painting to be auctioned off to benefit the Lightbringer Project.
It's Father's Day and I sure am lucky to be the dad of these two awesome kids. They certainly make life a lot of fun! They both made me cards to celebrate my special day!
