Kaleidoscope

 Kaleidoscope is an art studio downtown, funded and supplied by Hallmark with all kinds of leftover paper goods and ribbons and stickers and art supplies. I have many fond memories there from my own childhood, so it was special to see Elli experience it for the first time!

I think she spent most of our time at the watercolor station, painting crowns with Mia.

But she also loved coloring and playing with all the musical displays.

After our time in Kaleidoscope, we ate lunch at Fritz's, which is a restaurant with a railroad theme.  Elli has been very into "choo-choo's" recently, so this was a huge highlight for her!  I wish I'd taken some pictures, but you can imagine the excitement as she watched the trains travel around the ceiling, bringing tables their orders.  We had a blast!
