We are getting down to the end of the Christmas dates. Eden and Ellie have waited quite a while, but we wanted to find something we thought would be just right. The Zion Plein Air Art event looked just right. They are both pretty artsy. We had a fun day even dealing with the crowds. Zion was in beautiful fall colors and weather. The art was beautiful and it was fun to watch the paintings come to life as we visited and revisited them in their progress. We saw oil, watercolor and pastel works. A couple of the artists, Arlene Braithwaite and Steve Stauffer, let the girls add to their works and that made it really fun and personal. We also enjoyed the park after the art with a picnic, hike and visit to the gallery to see some of the other works that had been completed earlier in the week. We enjoyed the artist's art as well as the Creator's art that day.

| The top left pic doesn't show it, but Eden has a dollar bill in her hand. The artist, Steve Stauffer, paid her for her work on his oil painting! |
