My Little "China" Girls

A couple of weekends ago we went to the "Folk Fair" downtown. It was a beautiful day, although a bit on the warm side. We had a fun time as a family with Gramma and Aunt Dreama joining us too. The fair was set up in a park downtown on the water. There were many, many booths set up by people representing countries from all over the world. Each booth displayed information about the country as well as items to buy and food too. We enjoyed a sampling of Polish peirogies, sausage, thai rice snacks, thai coffee, spinach pie, fried plantains and more. We spent some time in the main tent where they had performances by people from the various countries. While we were in the tent we watched some very talented dancers, many of them were little girls, performing Irish folk dances. We also listened to a bagpipe ensemble. They were all wonderful to watch. At the Chinese booth the girls all found outfits that they wanted, so Daddy bought each one the clothes they picked out. Here is a picture of our "China" girls in there outfits after a bath.... We have been enjoying taking little trips around our area lately. We have also been up to Heritage Village a couple of times to enjoy the various festivals they have had recently. Last weekend we attended one with military items and people dressed in military garb from the 1940s. I had a nice chat with a man about the Victory Gardens that families planted during the war and we enjoyed a display about war photographers. We also were able to tour the first floor of the doctor's house that they have on the grounds. We all left feeling very thankful that we live in this day and age.
