This past weekend was pretty low-key. We took care of things around the house because we have company coming in next week. On Sunday we were able to bring Reed to his first Festival International.
According to their website:
Festival International de Louisiane is truly a community event drawing together approximately 1,500 volunteers from all segments of the community to work together to celebrate both our diversity and the common human experience that binds us together. Through the arts presented and the joint efforts to produce it, the festival contributes to the spirit of community that is so unique to the Acadiana region.
The annual 5-day festival is held during the last full week of April. Historic downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, is transformed into an entertainment complex featuring six music stages, food court areas, street musicians and animators, arts and crafts boutiques, art galleries, beverage stands, cultural workshops, international cooking demonstrations and a world music store.
Below are just a few highlights of Reed’s day:
This was Reed before we left the house. I think that he has decided he might actually enjoy wearing hats. Here he is being silly.
This was Reed when we first got there. He fell asleep in the car on the way over there so he was a little out of it.
The people in these costumes had to be hot. Nonetheless, Reed LOVED them.
Here is a video of the green monster picking on Reed. He was so excited.

It was pretty hot outside so we let Reed play in the fountain. I have some cute pictures of him but the video is the best. See below:

On our way back to the car we stopped so Reed could watch this guy juggle. Below is a video. He thought it was really cool.
So I am not sure if you read my about me portion of the blog, but this blog was started for a class and technically tonight would be my last blog. However, I am enjoying this so much that I have decided to keep up with it. Thank you very much Dr. Ron Cheek for introducing to the blogging world. I would have never realized that I have a passion for it if it weren’t for you.
