I'm attempting to play catch-up...I am way behind on posting! I have been filling bow orders like crazy and I'm afraid my blog has taken a back seat! So, let's go back in time...
August 4, 2010
We were super excited for the Heritage Festival. It is Charlie's absolute favorite festival we have here. This year we were brave and found our way there on the bus. There are so many people that attend that it is highly encouraged to take the bus to the festival. So, we left the car at home and walked a few feet to the bus stop right by our house...and it wasn't too bad!
The festival has 62 tents set up that represent over 80 cultures. You purchase tickets and each "country" has various food items that you can eat. There are also lots of crafts, music, and performers around.
When we arrived it was time for lunch so we wandered around a bit before settling in England. I ate at the England tent last year too. I'm not the most adventurous eater in the world!
We shared a Cornish Pastie and it was really good! I found a picnic table and while Grayson got fed I enjoyed a Beatles cover band.
When we were done I made Claire pose with me in the yellow submarine! She was still working on the Pastie!
Then, we walked around some more...
Claire won some sunglasses!
We saw some performers...
And posed with a Panda in China.
And then we saw it...the dessert Claire had been waiting for...a chocolate banana!
It was love at first bite!
The sad thing was right after I took this picture, we started walking toward the bus and Claire dropped her banana in the grass and right when it hit the ground, someone stepped on it. And that is how we ended up spending our last couple of tickets on a coke in Zimbabwe and sharing it with Claire! Haha!
It really was a fun day!
