The Smurfs

On our recent visit to Gent, Belgium, we picked up cool little Smurf figurines that were part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs. You may not know it but the Smurfs were born in Belgium 50 years ago and are pretty popular in the country.

For €10 we each purchased a little white Smurf to color. The proceeds go to benefit Unicef which is good. I decided to color mine in like a Philadelphia Phillie, Chase Utley to be exact.

All you need is a "26" on there

I can't believe I did that. I actually had 26 on the back when I started but when I got good markers to finish up the job, I wipped off the old markings and I forgot to put 26 back. I am going to do that now. Thanks for the heads up Jeff. I think I am going to buy a few more of the Smurfs and make an Eagles!
