We went to the Portland Greek Festival this Saturday and we had tons of fun. We watched the traditional Greek folk dancing which Charis was dyeing to join on stage. Eventually she was able to dance to her hearts content when the band played solo, Casey B. too, it was very cute.
There was a Children's Corner where Casey B., to his joy, won an Indiana Jones rubber ducky (Indiana Jones being one of his current favorite characters) and some candy including an x-ray gummy fish which he loved since he's so into the anatomy of living things.
Charis was very excited to have her face painted like a kitty. She became very serious about being a kitty the rest of the day and when we got home she stood in front of the mirror, for quite a while, practicing her mew!
We all ate spiced sausages on a stick and Loukoumedes which are doughnut-like pastries coated with honey and cinnamon...mmm...
Then we went to the Daily Vespers and Casey B. and Charis were excited to find skeletons in the paintings on the wall... it was very cute.
We all had such a fun time at the festival that we are looking forward to attending it every year from now on. :)
