Did you say First Place?

On April 25, 2009 Ethan and Evan, participated in an Arts/Crafts Competition.

It is called FAACS. (don't ask me what the letters stand for I do not know. )

Ruth and Becky were able to go, so they did get a couple of pictures.

Here Evan is standing next to his entry the beautiful beach scene. He did it in acrylics on canvas. He did a very good job. That is a red crab at the bottom of the stone on the left of the pictures.

Now they did not actually get to be part of the competition, but they were judged. Evans was the first name they called out. He was placed at the Best Ribbon you can get. He received 1st. place.

Way to go Evan, great job well done. You did a great job. Even if Grandma says so.

Then here is Ethan with his beautiful Diorama display. He even placed a tiny little shell that he painted red, to make a crab. There is a hammock between the two palm trees on the right. He has a sea turtle by her eggs. All this stuff was chosen from the out doors. It is real sand on the bottom of the box.

Ethan scored 199 on his 1 st place, it I was told by one of the art directors that Ethan's was the highest score in the whole contest. Of course I am bragging. They did a great job

Way to go Ethan, Grandma is really proud of you. Keep up the good work. Well, so much for the bragging I guess. Just had to share the excitement. Thanks for stopping by!
