International Children's Festival

Today we went with Nana and Opa to the International Children's Festival in Hampton. Since Opa is the President of the Executive Board of Bay Days, we often get strongarmed invited to go to various events in Hampton's downtown area. But the International Children's Festival is actually a lot of fun. They have activities, performers and food, etc from all kinds of different countries and they are all grouped by their various areas of the world.

We actually got really lucky today with the weather. We originally thought we were going to have to bail on the festival because of rain. Turns out, the rain starts tomorrow. So we trekked over to Hampton and got our festival-ing on. We enjoyed all of the different musical performers and dancers from all over the world. Got a glitter tattoo that will last 3-4 days, probably 1-2 for the toddler that will be messing with it. We also got our face painted. And since it is nicely dubbed a children's festival, we let Sydney run pretty free. She ran herself silly. It was so much fun to watch her take in all of the different scenary. We also let her get way ahead of us to see just how far she would go without us. Turns out, we still aren't that brave and after about 4 steps we are turning around to look for Mommy. Love it!

Anyone actually surprised the Elmo goes pretty much anywhere with us? Either Elmo or Dora. :)
