Summer Fayres and Fests

Now that summer is upon us and the weather is mostly nice, the street festivals and fayres (yes, that's how they spell it) are upon us in London. This weekend we're going to the Marylebone Festival and last weekend we went to the Charlotte Street Festival (as you can see by our clothing, the weather was NOT very nice, but we still went anyway). Charlotte Street is a street full of restaurants in Central London and the festival consisted, basically, of the restaurants coming out onto the street. We had just eaten lunch, so we weren't really hungry, but still had fun goofing around at various stalls.

This stall had a 'decorate your own cupcake' section, so we did. The cupcakes were pretty disgusting tasting, but it was fun decorating them and some guy with a big fancy camera took a picture of my extra special smiley cupcake:



Starbucks can always be counted on for a bathroom during street festivals (taken from inside starbucks):

Charlotte Street is very close to where Evie was born (much to her enthusiasm):


Some Flamenco Dancers outside of a Spanish restaurant (No Morris dancers at this festival, but I think we might get some at the Marylebone Fayre):


Jim and I were very excited about a Jazz and Blues Club that had just opened up and had a great band playing. But we needed to practice self control and think of Evie, so we went home. This is the look of a tired baby, who is trying to rally. You may remember this look from the time we dragged her to the giant, weird looking church in Barcelona:


Stay tuned for pictures from today's festivities! It's sunny and hopefully will be nice!
