Children's Day Art Park

One of our favorite summer activities is the Children's Day Art Park - a free concert series put on by the Austin Symphony. They have an instrument petting zoo so they kids can try their hand at playing different instruments. Before the main attraction, the kids are introduced to the instrument of the day and hear a quartet play a classical piece.

Even though it gets pretty hot even in the morning, we try to go to see our favorite children's artists - like Joe McDermott, Staci Gray, and the Biscuit Brothers!


This week was Joe McDermott - who has an awesome new greatest hits album out! Lincoln was especially excited to see him and even got to wear his sunglasses and take a picture with him in the art tent after the show. He asked me, "Mom, is that the real Joe McDermott?" Hopefully he's always as cool at his house as he seems to be at ours. Even Eli got into the groove...

After the concert, we made our way over to the art tent to play with clay and color and eat popsicles (Blue Bell is one of the sponsors, so sometimes they have free ice cream afterwards!)
