A few days before, we had received a little note in our gate announcing that a band was going to be coming to our park on last Sunday. The firemen had organized it, and there would be artisans there and some food, tamales I think.
We went to the early service at church and were home by 11 am. Shortly after that, we began to hear a band practicing, and a few minutes later, they paraded past our house on their way around the block. The band was led by some famous (here) cartoon characters. Of course, their gigantic size is intimidating to small children. We heard that, 20 years ago, these big characters would chase children around with sticks and shovels. YIKES! We're all glad that doesn't happen anymore! These guys were great at dancing in those heavy (and hot, I'm sure) costumes and playing with the children! Elijah wanted to have his picture made with one, and just when it would be his turn, he would back away shyly.
See the boy peaking out from the costume?
Finally, success with the picture! He's so brave--I think it helped that Timothy was there, too!
