Day of the Dead

Last Saturday was super busy for us!  After the races, Home Depot build, and YMCA Fall Festival, we went to Cheekwood for their Day of the Dead celebration.  This was our first time to the event.  Unfortunately we had rain showers come and go the whole time we were there which made it a little difficult.  Rylan fell asleep on our way there and ended up sleeping in the stroller almost the entire time that we were there.

There were lots of tapetes in the parking area (they are usually made with colored sand but the participating schools used chalk here).  Our favorite had a minion.

We headed over to the arts and crafts area so Carter could make some fun things.  We started coloring skeleton masks but that was outside and it started raining so we had to switch to some of the indoor crafts.  Carter made several things, including a cool papel picado ...

It was only lightly sprinkling so we headed outside and Carter got to make a grave marker for someone who had passed.  Brian explained it to him and he decided he should make one for a dinosaur :)

Brian and Carter ...

Rylan finally woke up and the sun came out so we listened to one of the outdoor singing performances before heading home (I think I made Brian do enough without a break after running his half marathon!).
