Today after church we headed downtown for our first India Festival. This is an annual event, but this is the first year we attended. We had a wonderful time. I felt like I was in India again. All the beautiful colors, clothes, music, dancing, food, etc. I was really excited, because I was able to meet in person one of my "blogging friends" at the festival. Cheryl, her two daughters and friend were there. Cheryl has been home from India with Adia for 2 months. Adia is beautiful and looks so happy. It was fun watching her take in all the sights and see here interact with her older sister, too. How fun to find somebody that lives in Oregon who has adopted from India!
Seeing their family gives me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it will happen!

Sitting at the festival made me miss India, remember my friends that are currently in India on a mission's trip, and make me long for my little Indian princess even more. Hopefully next year we will have our little Alesha home and we can attend the festival as a family of five!
First sight of the festival...looks fun, huh?
Tons of people were there.
Here I am with Cheryl and Adia.

Looks so fun! We debated about going down, but figured our 2 and a half year old was not quite ready for all the sitting. Maybe next year!!

There was a festival about 2 1/2 hours from us this past weekend, but we couldn't go due to work commitments for my husband. I'm happy to have something pretty close by, though -- and we're definitely going in the future!

Awesome! We have one here at the end of the month. I can't wait :) Yours looks great being outside and everything! So glad you go to meet Cheryl :)
What a great day!!! We attended India Day this weekend in Corning, NY! It sounds like India's Independence Day was celebrated across the country!! Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of us lived closer together and could celebrated together?!
I am coming next year! For sure!!!! :) Looks like you guys had fun.
That call has got to be coming any minute...
Ohhh jealous, jealous! What fun! :)
I love the pictures! I hope I can find a festival somewhere near us where we can start attending each year. They don't have one in our city. Looks like you had a blast! Maybe next year your little one can attend with you!
