Thalia is dancing hornpipe with a couple of other girls. ("Why are their faces so smeary, Mommy?" "Because I don't know if their parents want their pictures online, dear.") Bonus: the collar on the right as you're viewing the photo was crocheted by me. A world premiere!
It was raining when we left the house, but turned into a pretty day by the time we got there. We've never been to the Irish Fest before -- apparently it had moved a bit due to the high river. St. Charles is a pretty area to wander around in, and the setting was nice. The stage was rather petite, and inclined to bounce around, but the crowd was appreciative.
Afterwards Aunt L and Uncle M came over for supper and birthday celebrations. Aunt L brought cake:
This is the 3rd birthday cake we've had this month. Oh, wait, really it's the 4th. And still more to come!
We also played games. Uncle M brought marbles:
He won every game, but he left 2 bags of marbles here for us to practice with for future matches, not to mention the carpet square with the pre-drawn circle. We also had the usual bottle drop, bean bag toss, and also played Ladderball in the entrance. AnnaBeth cleaned up in LadderBall, consistently wrapping her bolos around the 3-point rung. Prizes were distributed to the winners, birthday gifts were opened, and we were all up way too late once again.

Thalia looks great on the little "stage." Isn't it amazing how much venues differ? The last place Tess danced in she had a tent for a dressing room. She's also had an old janitor's closet and a nice, carpeted private room with a tray of pastries and fresh ice water. Go figure...
