La Kermesse

Grace was all smiles today as we went to La Kermesse, a French American festival. Grace relishes being around lots of people and she enjoyed every second today. Grace twirled her heart away to a concert band, ripped up the dance floor during two signing performances (regardless of the on-stage talent being displayed!), yelled "hi", waved to all the animals, and longed for just one little taste of fair food as she solely dined on her organic peas, pears, and mangoes.One of the performances at La Kermesse today was a circus show. Prior to the start of the circus Grace enjoyed roaming around the tent ~ she put on a great show for all the onlookers with her twirling, dancing, and jumping. We think if it were possible, Gracie girl would have been center stage in the circus ring! Grace enjoyed watching the jugglers, trapeze artists, dancing clowns, and the ring master. Grace loved the show so much that she was was willing to offer Ella (seen below) to the performers to show her great appreciation for their talents!
The picture below is our favorite picture that was taken of Gracie girl today. Although you can't see her beautiful face, this picture captures the true essence of Grace's personality. You can always see in Grace's face that she is intently thinking about everything around her and trying to assess how things work & what people are saying. In this picture, Grace's curious spirit shines through as she tries to see what lies beyond that circus tent wall!

Bonjour Mademoiselle!

Grace, what a great day you spent with Mommy and Daddy. Poppy and I cannot wait until you come up for Festival on the Green. We have always watched and admired from afar the families with toddlers. Now we can see YOU dancing, clapping, twirling and enjoying live music!
I am so sure that there were so many people at La Kermesse yesterday that enjoyed your spirit. The picture of you peeking through the tent wall is priceless. You are always looking ahead to find the next wonderful thing!
How much we LOVE you our Little Mademoiselle, Grace Mercie L.
The Sunshine of our lives!
We Love You Cherry Pie,
Maddy & Poppy

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
