Gyro Anyone?

So Tyler's been out of town now for five days and we've been missing him like crazy but since we can't just sit around moping about not having him here, we've been trying to get out of the house and keep ourselves busy. Like tonight for example, we headed down to the Turkish Festival with my friend Melanie. Have any of you been to a Turkish festival? Well... I hadn't but now that I've been to one,  I suggest that if there is ever one in your town, you should definitely jump on board. Mel nor I had any idea what to expect and when we tried to look it up online to see what types of things go on at a Turkish festival, the website only stated that there would be food, games and fun. Not a lot of information but since it was a short walk away we decided to go check it out. The website was right... there was food (gyro's... yummy), games and fun to be had by all, the games and fun weren't necessarily Turksih but still...

For example... there were these giant plastic balls in water that kids could get in and roll around in (Turkish I think not, but still way fun)

There was a little petting zoo there. Owen loved it(even though he may not look like it in these pictures)

There were traditional Turkish costumes to try on. As you can see, our attempt to get Owen to wear the traditional hat was not successful so I wore it for the sake of a photo op instead.

There was also free face-painting for the kids, done by a clown. I don't really think face-painting is a Turkish tradition either but since it was there and it was free we decided Owen should join in the fun. How cute is his little red  nose?

This picture has nothing to do with the Turkish festival but it's a restaurant that we passed by on our way and since it has a giant shark out front we decided it was a perfect picture opportunity. I can't promise a Turkish festival when you come to visit but I can promise dinner and a great photo op for you at this restaurant.
