So on Saturday we took the kids down to the Slovenian National Home for the
Kurentovanje Festival:
Where these guys:
the Kurent, are believed to chase away winter and usher in spring. Unfortunately Winter seems to have missed that memo (seriously starting to believe that spring is a myth and that winter is going to last decades GoT style). But the parade was fun!
And seriously how much fun are these dudes having?
And I love a polka band on a truck.
Funtimes, indeed.
After the parade we headed inside. The Slovenian dancers put on a great show but our kids were only interested in one thing at that point:
 |
| Kielbasi. YES. |
They did get to dance to a polka band, though.
There were supposedly some great crafts and kid activities going on in the basement but we didn't stay for that since the kids were getting a little crazy:

| everyone in this photo needs a nap STAT. |
On the way home the dude was all "The Lake is all Frozen Up." and the girl responded with "Yeah I thought those scary monster things were supposed to get rid of winter? How come it's still frozen?"
SIGH.
Anyways we'll be rocking out at the Slovenian National Home for their Lenten Fish Fry starting this Friday. It's our favorite one in Cleveland. Polka Band! Dancing! Bar! The kids love it.
Happy Mardi Gras Everyone!
