"Artwork?..."

 A group of us went to the hospitality center today to visit with some of the patients that had been on the ship.  The Hospitality Center is a place for those patients to stay while they are waiting for surgery or have had surgery but their homes are to far away to be travelling back and forth.  Also, for some of our orthotics patients, who have their casts on for awhile and need check ups it is easier to stay at the center. 
Today when we went to the Center, our purpose was to meet with several patients we need to have follow-up conversations.  After the conversations we finish, I decided to go and read/color with the kids.  I was teaching some of the kids the different colors...in french.  After we were done, we colored some picutres and talked about the different colors we were using.
For this little girl, I become her blank canvas.  She decided I did not have enough color...she set out to remedy the situation.
You can tell she has been on the ship, she is holding the marker like a needle!
The final product was brown marker, yellow and pink highlighter.  One lesson I did learn from this is in the future...use crayola marker and not highlighter!  (They wash off easier.)
