International Children's Festival

Last weekend, we attended the International Children's Festival. We met Yasuko and Yuki there and together we traveled around the world learning all about different countries, 33 in fact. This was probably the best festival we've attended here in the Hampton Roads area thus far; we were highly impressed with the number of hands on activities to get the children involved in learning about so many different cultures. Each country had a booth set up filled with tons of information geared towards children.
There were also food vendors representing the many different countries so we not only got to learn, but also taste the international food. Along with the food and booths, there were also several stages featuring native dance and music.
After an hour or so, we met up with some more of our friends, Heather, Dawn, Rachael, Kristin and Shaun. Together we had a wonderful afternoon exploring the many different lands with our children. Tyler especially loved the festival and is already talking about going to next year's. Here's more photos.
