Art on the Avenue October 2010

October 2, 2010. This was the 15th annual Art on the Avenue in Del Ray. Robert scootered and I walked over while Sarah was doing some organizing around the house. Shortly after we got into the show, we saw a sign for an open house at the firehouse. That was the highlight.
Robert was able to get in the navigator's seat of an ambulance, practice his firefighting skills with a hose, drive a firetruck (OK, it wasn't actually going anywhere), check out the seats and tanks behind the driver and try to make sense of all the dial and levers. Octover 2, 2010.

After all that excitement, we found a booth that was set up for kids to do a little painting. Robert really enjoyed the silicon paint dispersal tool -- sorry, I don't know that to call it. After you've put some paint down, you can swirl and mix or texturize it with the silicon brush like thing. Octover 2, 2010.
