May 18, 2008 - Cuban Festival (5 Weeks Old)




It is funny, but I cannot gaze at the boys enough. The camera is always nearby so I can take a picture. They are getting bigger (and cuter) with each passing week!

On Sunday, Daniel and I ventured out to LA's Echo Park for the Cuban Festival with the boys. They got their first live taste of salsa and merengue. The music was apparently soothing to them because they slept for hours. We literally had to wake them up to eat (a strange reversal of roles). The day brought record breaking heat, but we were cool as cucumbers in our shady spot under a tree. Aside from enjoying the music, we enjoyed Carribean food and quality family time on this rare Sunday where Daniel didn't have to work. Getting to the festival was quite a feat. As we are quickly learning, excursions of any size require organization, planning, packing, and a dash of patience. After loading the car with two baby carriers, a double stroller, two diaper bags, pacifiers, a set of twins, and a mommy and daddy, we were off. At the end of the day, we were drained but happy we went. By the Puerto Rican Festival next month, we should be pros ;)
