Celtic Pride

Despite the heat and crazy crowds, we headed out to the Dublin Irish Festival a couple of weeks ago. I have never seen it so crowded there. There was hardly room to walk the stroller down the walkway. We got some food and followed Aunt Erin to some tables next to a small tent. It was the perfect sitting and people watching point.

What we didn't know, was that inside the tent next to us, was a group of Irish musicians jamming together in a circle of folding chairs. The music reminded me of Leprechauns and River dance. It was very fast paced and uppity and of course, caught Mallory's attention. For the rest of the evening, Mallory spent the majority of her time in the tent clapping, dancing, and spinning to the music. She drew attention to the musicians and they were quite fond of her. One nice man even let her play his drum. She smiled in anticipation between each song. Below are some pictures of the evening, along with a short video of her dancing. Dancing with her is her great uncle Dennis. They both have some very stylish moves...

I think we may have to make this a Poland tradition.
