Like Naomi, the Girls didn't get any flowers for May Day either but they were able to get their faces painted at a flea market that was happening in a neighborhood south of the apartment. A street that was several blocks long had been shut down for the purpose and it was filled with vendors selling things like books, random household items, music, videos, clothes, crafts, toys...typical flea market really! After Naomi, Mark, Jojo and I (pushing a sleeping Amelia in the stroller) walked through the crowds and taking in the wares, we had a nice lunch on a bit of green space and Jojo somehow spotted a woman doing face painting. Naomi and Jojo headed over and I soon followed with Amelia who had just woken up from her impromptu nap. Jojo had already started her transformation into a butterfly and snapped some photos as well as took a somewhat long video of the transformation. FYI: My camera doesn't do sound so it is just a visual--don't adjust your speakers!
Of course Amelia had awoken enough at that point to request that her face also be painted but all the adults were worried that a full treatment would quickly smeared! As such, she was quickly turned into a princess. We enjoyed a dessert of ice cream (the girls), waffle (Mark), and mixed candied nuts (Jenee). Naomi managed to leave the market with only having purchased a pair of Dora socks and a pink squishy toy that stretches and lights up (which we didn't know about until later)!
