National Book Festival Fun

Over the weekend Nya and I attended the National Book Festival on the National Mall.  It was Mommy-Daughter Day!  Nya did a great job listening and riding the Metro with Mommy.  The festival had so much to offer.  Under one tent, Target had set up a reading area for kids and families.  We found a rocking chair and a beanbag and read some new books.  We particularly loved the new Anna Dewdney book, Llama Llama Home With Mama.

There were several friends at the festival for Nya to meet.  She was thrilled to meet her favorite character, The Cat in the Hat!!!

A hug moment with Cat...

Nice to meet you, Cat!

Hugs from Arthur, too!

Under another tent we had the chance to see some of our favorite performers....like Choo Choo Soul and Hip Hop Harry!  When I say hip hop, you say Harry!

Taking a break...

Of course no adventure is complete without battle scars...Nya was chasing a squirrel and fell out on the mall, but she was a trooper!

We also visited the "Worldwide Day of Play" presented by Nickelodeon, but it was such a madhouse there was no way that I could get pictures.

Riding home on the Metro, Nya and I agreed that it was one of the best days ever!!!
