On Saturday, we picked up Rachel and went to Cedar Rapids to meet my parents, Jay, Stella and Theo for a little Christmas adventure.
The Czech-Slovak Museum put on a "Old World Christmas Market" which consisted of a lot of little booths set up inside where you could buy almost anything, an indoor market, face painting, and rides on a "carriage" drawn by two horses that jingled and wore santa hats. :D We were there from 10-noon and ended with lunch at Village Inn.
A few pics!

| Eli and Rachel always have fun together! |

| Eli was most excited about lunch. He first ordered noodles but then when the waiter got around the circle of taking orders, Eli had changed his choice to pancakes. The waiter never changed the ticket, so he brought out both! Eli ate both, and was as happy as a clam polishing off both plates. |
Yeah it was a fun day and crowded. Kids were patient waiting for a turn to get on the wagon pulled by the strong horses.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with the face painters too.
