Vacation = Grandchildren = Creativity

We have just returned from a trip to Vermont where we visited with two of our grandchildren. Twelve year old Kieran and I spent lots of time with his Kindle Fire and my iPad.

After patiently explaining some of the games that he and his friends play, he showed me a picture that he 'painted' on his kindle. I asked if I could post it - he said 'yes.'



I was impressed with what he had done and showed him a drawing app on my iPad. I had not done too much with it  . . . but he figured it out and taught me a few things. 

He wanted to do a self portrait. First he took a picture of himself and used it as the first layer. He then used the paint brush on the drawing app and voila! There he is.

He really had fun with it and worked with his sister Maizie to capture her, too.

As they say, "A fun time was had by all!" It's wonderful to learn new things from a different generation!
