2010 Children's Festival of Reading
A friend of ours told us about a festival today at World's Fair Park and I am so glad that she did (= I packed a picnic lunch for Julia and me and we headed downtown to see what was going on. She was a bit grumpy at first (it was her nap time) so she was a bit overwhelmed (LOTS of people). I asked her what she wanted to do and she said EAT RIGHT NOW. Okay then. We sat in front of the main stage on our beach towels, ate our lunch, and listened to a children's author speak (he was actually pretty interesting). While we were finishing up, I spotted the Olson's with their daughter Ella and we all went over to put our feet in the fountains and chit chat for a bit before they headed out to get some lunch. After lunch, Julia perked up and had a great time the rest of the afternoon (face painting, bouncy castles, arts and crafts, etc.). AND we got a big stack of children's books for $3.50, along with a bunch of random free stuff (stickers, etc.). Nice day!
