Sketching the Court House

Last Wednesday, we headed to the square to sketch the court house. The weather was beautiful and the kids were excited.

Our court house has a nice little court yard right in front so we had a great view. The boys got to sketching right away.

We purchased clip boards for just this thing when we were buying our school supplies. They work wonderfully.

Princess had to wait her turn because I left her pencil in the van.

Bobo, very focused.

Popeye decided he needed a different view.

Princess is checking on him.

Bear is done. He sat next to me on the bench to wait.

While I had him close we talked about the different Greek columns. I showed him a picture with the different columns on it and we discovered that the columns on the court house are ionic columns.

Princess is now using Bear's pencil and hard at work.

She didn't want to take a picture with her brothers, but as soon as they were done she ran up for hers.

Bobo is still sketching. He's taking this seriously.

As is Popeye. Though now he has moved to the bench for yet another vantage point.

I love the determination on his face in this pic.

Ohp. He had to move one more time.

Now he's done. I think we might have an architect on our hands.

Bobo actually finished before Popeye, but I didn't think to take his picture till I took Popeye's.

And Princess wouldn't let us leave without taking her pic too. At the top of the steps, of course.
