Sunday at 2:00pm we went to the Skylark Art Garden to get dressed up and to have our faces painted for the parade. About 20 kids put on bright costumes with pants and shirts in matching 
colours of blue, yellow and purple. Artists actually painted the kids faces –and one lady’s shoulders- into amazing designs. With our costumes on, we walked to a large open area at the beginning of the cliff path where we met an elephant and some drummers, who were going to be in the parade with us. We paraded along the cliff top and everybody in the restaurants stood up took pictures of us. We got to the end of the cliff top and the parade ended at the Coconut Grove.Here are some of the things I really liked about the day. I met a new friend named Madov who wanted to show me the neighbourhood as we walked to the cliff path. The elephant led the parade. Half way along the elephant peed all over the path. It was funny to watch all the marchers trying to step over the
huge puddle! At Coconut Grove, Madov and I played the African drums.It was a great day!

Hi Rob,
What a great description of the parade! And I liked your blue face - but I prefer your nice normal pink and tan one.
Your new friend sounds like a nice guy. Is he about your age? Does he live near by?
Don't step in any elephant pee!
Love,
Grandma
