Saturday, November 20th, we spent many hours at the International Festival. We camped out at this stage and watched Irish dancers (as seen below), a sampling of the Nutcracker ballet, Japanese dancing, and twirling baton performances to name a few! Emily enjoyed this very much. David and Lia put up with it... but found other things they liked better at the festival - keep reading...
Like this monster slide! There goes David. He only did it once.
And the balloon guy. He made Lia this sweet butterfly and David got a fishing pole with a fish attached. The fish popped after about 30 seconds but the fishing pole lasted most of the night.
And of course, Santa made an appearance. The big screen showed him coming in live on the Waterway. Once he arrived on stage it was pretty crazy with all the kids going wild.
And then we found Emily's friend Elle. They were very excited to see each other.
And one of the coolest performances of the night was a pair of dueling ice sculpturists. We watched them carve a snowman, a christmas tree, and a pair of candy canes out of three blocks of ice. It was very impressive!

Now that's a Festival!!! I do wish Las Cruces had such fun stuff to do on weekends. By the way that is the biggest butterfly I have ever seen!!
