SLC Chalk Festival

Saturday was a busy day for the Wing family. Ethan spent the morning helping the Malstroms move out of their Holladay house and when he got back, we joined the Wing clan to help Diana and Robert move out of the Smith's home and into their brand new house! Hooray!!! We have all been so excited for the new house to be built and finished and it has finally come. Thankfully, the weather was kind to us and only got to about 80 so moving never got too unbearable. Also, thankfully we only had to move the furniture and few things from Dan and Emily's into the truck and into the wonderfully marked new house. The movers did the rest including all the heavy furniture. It was a great way to spend the morning and afternoon being with family and helping out. After the trucks and cars were unloaded, we all spent a few hours unpacking boxes and the house started to really come together. Its weird to think that Kelsey won't even know the other house and that this Bountiful house will be where all her memories are. Exciting because the new house ROCKS!! but weird. The only flaw with the new house is that there are 3 deer that have set up camp in the back yard and they will not leave! We walked right up to them and they are not even kinda scared. It is so nuts. 

After a physically exhausting day of moving and unpacking, Ethan and I thought we would just take the rest of the afternoon easy. We got home around 5, ate and showered and were talking about lazy things to do when I saw Christine's awesome pictures on Facebook about the Chalk Festival at the Gateway. We decided that that was lazy enough and way more fun than just sitting at home so we went and it was AWESOME!!! The whole set up was really cool. Before the really pictures started they had a section were kids could color with jumbo chalk and the whole side walk was covered. It was really cute. There were also bands playing and booths set up. The event technically ended at 6 and we got there around 6:30 so we didn't really see the booths but we did get to see the pictures. I was blown away at the art that these people could do with just chalk. It would have been fun to see them drawing them. There were about 50 pictures but snapped the best ones. I am so glad that Christine always knows about fun things to do because we would have really missed out. 

These were the youth pictures which I thought were the best

She is finally happy again! HOORAY!!!

These were the adult pictures that I liked so much

Ran into Mimi and Aunt Betsy running the Lion House Booth. They are such troopers. They got there at 8 in the morning and right at 7 they got to go home! We ran into them at 6:59 luckily because by 7:01 they were outta there.

Some family fun at the remaining booths
