International Children's Festival

Today we headed to the International Children's Festival in downtown St. Paul. It was a beautiful day and we met some friends there too! Nicki, Dan, Naamah and Kian kept us company while we explored. We did crafts, went through a butterfly tent, watched performances of African, Asian and Spanish origins. All of us watched the parade and had some ice cream. Sam is still talking about all the people we saw walking around on stilts. She keeps asking why they were on stilts. I finally suggested that the next time we see someone on stilts, we should ask them why they opted for stilts and how long they had to practice to stay up there.

Sam and I opted for some quiet time which usually ends up with one or both of us sleeping as was the case today. Daddy kept up with Sofie who was overly active from her catnap on the way home from the festival. Fonz got a stroll and as a treat for being so good the entire day, Daddy took Sam to a park she chose for a little extra time. Sofie was in no shape to be out so I got to have some cuddling and playing time with her.

Here are the kids putting flowers in the singing garden and showing off the jewelry they made...




Here is a shot of them dancing during a performance...


It was a great family day!
