Street Performers Festival

Last weekend we took off to the street performers festival. This is Charlie's favorite festival we have and it is lots of fun. We rode the train to Churchill Square and when we got off we saw the fountains were on at the wading pool. Claire was super excited! We didn't have her swim suit but it was nice and hot and she wanted to try it out anyway!

Then, we walked over to the square to see the performances. There are letters painted in various places on the square and you can check a dry erase board to see who is performing now and who is up next. We picked a random act and it was pretty good. After it was over we went into the mall to eat lunch. On the way I saw a sign on the ground that said "Dance Party! Insert coin to activate." It had a cup beside it. So, when we finished eating and came back out to the square Charlie sent Claire to put a loonie in the cup. Charlie had seen this performer on the news and thought he was funny. Claire had to tell him that she put money in his cup because he was talking to some fans. He said, "oh you want to hear some music and dance with me?!"

Claire danced it up!

We went to see who was performing next and sat down to wait for a show to start. We watched a guy escape from a straight jacket and then picked one last show before going home.
This guy was amazing! He got inside a gigantic hula hoop and twirled all around in it.

He even picked a little boy out of the audience and at the end of his show he had the boy hold onto him while he twirled him in the hula hoop too. I'm not sure I would've let Claire do that!!
By the time his show was over the kids were HOT and tired. So we headed back to the train to go home.

Grayson was out in minutes..

This girl was sleepy too, but she hung on until the train ride was over...she just loves the train!

It's hard to get pictures of me when I am always holding the camera! :)
