The Cazuela That The Farm Maiden Stirred

After a lunch at home, Lon and I were off to another fun event!  A book launch event! We have been to book signings, but not a launch event.  This was really fun! It was in a large hall. The hall filled up fairly quickly.   The book is wonderful, in Spanish and English. One of the shorter reviews : A wonderful read-aloud, filled with merriment and conviviality.  And it is written by our friend, Samantha Vamos!  Get it. Get two. The illustrations are very fun! Lon likes it. Alot.
Not many people, yet.

Signing her wonderful book!  (Really, I need to go get that photo editor)

Oversized chocolate cupcakes! I am not sure that Lon saw the vanilla ones.

Yummy Yummy Yummy

Some of the artwork from the book. I tried to get it to rotate, but it would not. arg!
The artwork is so much fun. It is wonderfully colorful and a joy to look at.
A Balloon Man! OH JOY! We stood in line and waited our turn. Lon was very excited and liked watching him make all the balloon animals, hearts and other things


Lon and the Balloon Man talking about what very important balloon he is going to make for Lon.
Lon got a sword, a lot of little boys got swords. It was all out pandemonium with balloons!  It was a ton of fun for all the boys

We left a little while later, there were more events that were coming up but we needed to get going. It was really fun.  Congratulations to Samantha on her wonderful book!   Lon likes it. He wants to make rice pudding now.
