Recreational Art

Last Saturday we made some progress on the re-decoration of the Rec Room (the one in which we painted one wall as a chalkboard. By the way, Syl LOVES the chalkboard! The chalkboard paint was a success...just give it some time to absorb/build up the chalk dust.)
We gave some wall space to each kid (Stephen, Junior, Syndi and that big kid, JON!) and let them paint whatever they wanted.
So they each did their art work in the Rec Room, hence the title "Recreational Art."
Even the big kid had fun. Syl taped off everyone's area and prepared the paint.
Stephen's art was more modernistic.
We all thought it looked cool.
Junior's art was from the camping trip to Lake Huron while they were all in Michigan. Above you see them driving to the lake.
Syndi's art was a rendition of her trip to Camp Barakel, also while they were in Michigan this past June. Pretty neat, huh?
The BIG kid's art was a measuring stick beside which we intend to mark off each kids' heights and maybe have a hand print from each. The space-related items are all painted with a glow-in-the-dark yellow.
We had a lot of fun!
Maybe we can post a picture after we mark off the kids' heights!
