As I was saying, we heading to the next festival on our short list and that was the Chocolate and Chalk Festival in the Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley. As we walked down to Shattuck Ave to look at the chalk drawings that folks had made on the sidewalk, we spotted this awesome VW bus and had to take a quick shot!
Clearly my model was as excited by this old vehicle as I was. Ha!
Then on to what turned out to be the big surprise of the day. Kiddo is a total natural on a pony. He just loved it and would have happily spent the rest of the day there. Guess we’ll have to take him to visit aunt Hil in Wales as soon as possible! At first I walked right beside him but he soon asked me to step away and let him do it himself. So I took pictures instead. I was so giddy and proud.
He even got all comfy and didn’t hold on for a minute.. which made me nervous but he was absolutely confident. It was sweet.
After saying goodbye to the ponies, we saw a sweet man making balloon animals etc and the kiddo asked him for a pink sword for himself and a black one for mama. And we had sword fights all the way back to the car.
After that, we headed to Cameron at The Potters’ Studio, to find out how the first day of Open Studios had gone. We found him outside, making pots!
You know what happened next!
Chésaweh was totally covered in clay and happy as a clam. And this is why I carry a change of clothes for him in the car. At the drop of a hat, he’s wet, head to toe so I try to be prepared.
As excited and energetic as he was, he still fell asleep on the way home.
But he woke up as we neared, and asked to visit his favourite park. It seemed a nice way to end the day. So we did.
