NIDO ART SCHOOL ~ summer camp memories 2016

 


This was taken in July 2016 when Christopher, Delaney, & Lila went to "Mad Scientist" art camp at Nido Art Studio.   Their teacher (and owner) Lisa Manning always planned fun art classes and camps for the kids over the years.   Delaney's first camp was in kindergarten and they even had an "artist's gallery" for family and friends to look at their art pieces at the end of the week.  I remember Bob and Lorene and Rachel and Kevin attending at special guests of Delaney.   Such precious sweet memories.

Lisa's studio and classes were open for over 10 years, the doors have now shuttered to make space for her husband's yoga studio throughout the entire building.  The kids made SO many memories here over the years including a birthday party for Delaney and many classes and camps for all 3 kids.  During one school year, they took classes every Monday night.  Almost every summer, they went to at least 1 or 2 summer camps.  

In this photo taken at the end of an art camp week, I love how the Hopkids are the only ones smiling directly into their Mom's (me) camera!  I hope they remember these times and how much they learned and had fun.
