Steamy Sunday

Today, EJ's art school had its annual art show opening. The teacher, along with each artist, selects 4-5 of each artist's pieces for inclusion in the show. The teacher honors one of each artist's pieces with a blue ribbon. Here's EJ holding up her blue ribbon-winning piece:



And here it is, up close...two giraffes, done in pen:


A few of her other pieces include her chipmunk etching...

...her cardinal in colored pencil...

...and her pastel:

The show takes place at a restaurant in town. The doors opened at 9:30 for a preview, followed by the awards ceremony in the parking lot, which only lasted about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it was SO hot out there that one person in the crowd collapsed in the heat. It was brutal. About halfway through the ceremony, K took Sophie to the truck for some air conditioning. After the ceremony, EJ and I joined them and waited for the parking lot to clear out. Then, we went inside for a closer look at the art and lunch.

After we got home, I took some pics of the girls in their new matching dresses:

Sophie couldn't resist running toward the camera:

And I couldn't resist taking a few pics of Sophie while she inhaled her yogurt this morning:
