Painting with Dale Chihuly

The Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum at the Seattle Center today had an extraordinary opportunity for kids ages 5-12 to come and paint with Dale Chihuly as a celebration of the one year anniversary of the museum.  It was open to the public and we were able to be a part of this unbelievable event this morning.

I am still pinching myself at this picture below that I snapped of Anna and Taylor with the man himself...

This event was free with admission to the museum - amazing! 

They gave the kids free "Team Chihuly" t-shirts and they were able to do 2 paintings each...
