Paint Night – Mushroom Houses

For Christmas Allison got me a Paint Night through Groupon. It took me a whole long time to get around to booking our paint night. The Groupon expires in May so when I finally got a chance to book the event the only one that was left was a paint night where we made Mushroom houses. I guess the really artistic looking ones sell out very quickly.

I took Andrew and the NXMini over to Hunts Mill in East Providence this afternoon. We were going to take a walk around the Turner Reservoir. However, Andrew had a different idea. He did not want to walk at all. We made it a little ways down the trail and Andrew wouldn’t want to go any further. So I picked him up and we headed home. Luckily we went to the Mill right before the trail and I could get this photo with Andrew. I was using the NXMini in smile Mode to activate the camera to take photos. Obviously Andrew did not activate the smile mode in this photo.
