This weekend saw the Folk Festival come to Canmore and I decided to take both children to see some music and dancing. So with Finlay strapped to my chest and Heather dawdling beside me, we ventured to Centennial park to share some culture with a few hundred other people!!
Two pairs of hands is always better than one when you have two young children!!!
I found it quite the feet taking Heather to a crowded open park, with several hundred people and having Finlay strapped to my chest. Heather had to walk everywhere, Ms Independent and she was on her own agenda...it is a little bit more difficult to control her when you can't pick her up properly. But all in all we had a great time. Heather enjoyed some Capoeira, Brazilian martial art dancing , had her face painted and saw the farm animals. When it was time to feed Finlay, I took her to a staged story time thinking that she would sit and listen , while Finlay was fed. Well, she listened for the first 10 mins then wanted to go and see the goats again. So just got up and walked off. There I was, abandoned , I left the ruck sack and rug and went chasing after her with poor Finlay attached to the boob. With lasting comments from passers by ,"You've got your hands full there, dear!!!".......No kidding!!!
To tell you the truth though, it was worth it just to see Heather experience some new things , and although it wasn't as relaxing for me, Heather had a great time and is still talking about the goat pooping on the grass ...four days later!!!!!
