Children's Festival

We enjoyed a beautiful morning at the Virginia Children's Festival which was at Town Point Park (waterside in Norfolk). It benefited St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Unfortunately, my camera had a big spot on it, so the pictures stink-but you get the idea. There were many fun activities and characters to see. We watched a performance of Charlotte's Web by the Hurrah Players, listened to stories read by Mother Goose, listened to lots of different performers sing, pet some farm animals, and played with ALL kinds of different toys throughout. Ella was scared of the big costumed animals at first, but by the end was going up and giving high-fives. There was a Gymboree tent that we visited and Ella got see one of her teachers. At one point Ella made a beeline towards the Barnes & Noble tent and I realized why when I saw Ms. Dawn from story time :) We ended the festivities with some ice cream and dancing!
