Santana Row Rooftops, San Jose, Thursday, May 27, 2021

“Olly, olly oxen free" is a catchphrase or truce term used in children's games such as hide and seekcapture the flag, and kick the can to indicate that players who are hiding can come out into the open without losing the game. 

Adventurous Thursday painters played a game of Hide and Seek at Santana Row, as it  turns out the navigation apps were not up for the game! Alison, Claudia, Caroline, Helen, Lora, Linda, Lisha, Kris, Valerie and Bobbi met at the parking garage and painted from the various level or at ground level~ Alison
