Hey we had a great time at Mexico Fest today! We couldn't stay to long but we really enjoyed it. Angel got her face painted as a Catrina and Erin did a fabulous job. I will post more details later and Jack the Clown made Angel the cutest little balloon teddy bear. We shared a lime popsicle and listened to some great music. We also met Harrison- the Canadian Yoyo Champion . It is at the Vancouver Convention Center and is on from 12 to 9 pm Sept 7 th. (Today!! )

VIVA LA MEXICO!!

Here we are dressed as Catrinas. You can read about how I made the dresses and got the gardenias and had our faces painted here http://adventurezinmexico.blogspot.mx/2012/11/dia-de-los-muertos-in-oaxaca-city-2012.html

We had the BEST time in Oaxaca and dressing as Catrinas was something I had dreamed about for 2 years. It was wonderful to have my dream come true! It's an experience I'll never forget. Thanks so much to Mindi Garandara for taking our photo together! I really appreciate you helping us capture this precious moment! Muchos Gracias!! :D
