Festivals, food and fun!

We have been enjoying the summer things around our city!  We went to the Heritage festival yesterday and the kids all really enjoyed themselves.  And really, what's not to enjoy?  Food, music and dancing.  Caleb loved watching the knights but his favourite part was something I never thought I would ever hear him say-tasting all of the food and finding out which country it came from.  He has come a long way from the 3-year-old who ate cheerios for supper every single night.  

I spent most of the time trying to explain to Sophie why she couldn't just climb up onto the stages.  I explained that they were for the performers and that she could dance in front of the stage while she was watching them.  So she did.

Silas danced too.

But then, when we were watching the dancers from the Congo, someone lifted Sophie up onto the stage so she could dance with the dancers.  A little hesitant at first, it only took her a minute before she was shaking her hips.  She didn't love dance when she was in it and I think we've figured out why-ballet is not her thing.  She needs to take African dance!

Of course, whatever Sophie gets to do, Silas wants to do to.  So after 5 minutes of this-

We let him up too.

And what was Silas' favourite part?  Not the dancing.  Or the food.  It was the bus.

Because is there anything better than taking the bus when you're 2?
