Our day at the Vancouver International Children's Festival



On Saturday my Aunt Cathy had some tickets to the Vancouver International Children's Festival and wanted to take Levi and myself as well as my niece and nephew, Annalise and Bjorn. We had such a fun day!
We left quite early in the morning and we were almost an hour early because the traffic was so good! So we spent some time on Kitsilano Beach finding some shells that the kids could take home. It was quite cool and windy, but they didn't care. The boys just dug around in the sand and had a great time making a big mess of themselves! Annalise was so excited to find the different shells!

After we got into the gates, we saw an amazing acrobatic show. It was called Kenya Live and there were 6 Kenyan men who did these incredible stunts. It really was awesome!

The kids got their faces painted. Levi was a dog, Bjorn a tiger and Annalise was a cat! They were so cute. When we got home later on, Levi had a bath and Aaron washed off his dog face and he cried for about an hour afterwards because he wanted to have his dog face forever!

We went into the Music Makers tent where the kids danced and jumped to the music...especially Annalise! She was asked to come up on stage to show the kids how high she could jump! And then she came back up on stage with a couple other kids.


This picture is blurry, but it still makes me laugh. The boys wanted to go up on stage to jump, but when they got there they just stood like rocks watching the guy on stage jump. I laughed so hard watching them!

Overall, we had a wonderful day together and the kids were great! I am definitely going to go again next year!
