Apologies for my blog posts not working today. I’m not sure what happened to the images in that last post but I deleted it and am starting over with pix from the big camera

Every little girls dream is to be this Fairy!!! OMG this actress was beautiful and literally floated as she walked.

Bling was getting antsy and decided to go for a slow ride on the tortoise who was collection money for the Minnesota Herpatological group. They had a number of abandoned and abused/neglected tortoises on display at the festival

Bling Bling just “lion” around

A beautiful procession of Arabian horses with riders in full costume went by us

Here’s a broader view of the festival grounds. I have many many MANY more pix on the way when I return home!!!

A rare shot of my son Bryan and I together!!! He’s a tough one to get to sit still long enough!!
