Greek Festival 2009

One of the best parts about where we live is the annual Greek festival at the Orthodox Church just up the street. The whole town turns out for the festivities. Check out the difference between our visit last year and this year:

Riding in the stroller...

Hanging out with Dad (okay, the first picture isn't from the festival, but it was taken the same day. Norah doesn't even look like a person--just a rag doll!) He's even wearing the same hat!

Hanging out with Mom....

How she spent her time (sleeping versus dancing)...

Here is the lamb roasting on the spit. Now, I am a firm believer in if you are going to eat it, you should be able to see how it has to die. And that would be why I passed on my beloved gyro this year.

All Norah wanted to do was dance.



Oh, and push her stroller around. The child is obsessed.

Eating mounds of fried dough dipped in honey and nuts. Guess she's not allergic to either (whew!)

She loved all the kids who performed traditional Greek dances.



It's a good time and a tradition we look forward to keeping.
