The Soles of Springfield

The City of springfield did an art show. People came in a painted giant shoes that were later displayed around downtown Springfield. Wanna know more here http://www.springfieldcityhall.com/COS/20100708-sneakers.0.html

The shoes are all really cool and everytime we drive by them the girls start screaming @ each other "Look, Look there's one" So I thought it would be fun the other day to go for a walk & get the girls out of the house. Since we only live a few minute, walking , from downtown I thought it would be cool to go check out some of the shoes. Usually when we go for walk the girls complain after awhile saying they're tired, so I thought this might entertain them on our walk. It was a success. They had a lot of fun posing next to all of them, until the last couple, I think they actually were getting tired.






I took this pic & when we got home I realized there was
not so nice writing on the wall.
