Ben is thinking about doing the festival next year...I think he should.
The kids LOVED going downtown to see Dad draw.
Nina being her cute self.
Cute little Will was sad to say goodbye for the night. Clayton stayed all night so he'd have time to complete the project. I told him not to do anything "too big" because he has a tendency to torture himself, but did he listen? The project was a combination of two separate photos we found. Clayton couldn't decide on just one of them, so he put them together in Photoshop prior to the Chalk Festival.
After working all night this is how far he was.
There was constantly a crowd.
I think Hannah should do the Chalk Festival next year too!
Will thought he was strong enough to push over this tree. I never laughed so hard!
His face!
Afternoon, Day Two.
Running on zero sleep. Pure misery. Although you'd never know it by looking at his drawing, would you?
Both sides of our family came to see Clayton draw, as well as lots of friends and neighbors. The support was so amazing. Here our dads are admiring the nearly finished piece.
By far the best and most popular piece in the festival this year!
es, people, that is MY husband!
Close up of Iron Man.
All done!
The best part!

Here is the video featuring Clayton in the 2011 Chalk Festival:

P.S. Never kneel for 30 straight hours with knee pads strapped on...apparently it causes nerve damage. We are hoping the nerves in Clayton's leg will repair over the next couple of years.
