We all enjoyed a healthy dinner of french fries:
Then the kids tried out the stage before the first busker:
(Don't you LOVE the 80s leggings on this stylish little girl? She picked them out herself during back-to-school shopping. She also got a navy boyfriend blazer with sleeves that roll up to display striped lining. Grade 2 never looked this good back in my day!)
The first performer we saw was a woman who goes by the name of Bendy Em. And truly, that was a well-chosen moniker:
After contorting herself in various ways and creatively using two beefy looking guys from the audience to their full advantage, her final trick was to stuff her wiry little body into a tiny little box:
The second performer was not quite as entertaining, although no less wacky. His ultimate feat was to balance a running lawnmower on his face and then have audience members throw heads of lettuce into the blades:
There HAS to be a better way to make a living!!
Afterwards we saw amazing dragon-type creatures that growled their way through the crowd:
The kids were both fascinated and terrified by them.
Of course we had to have some birthday tarts and brownies, which I picked up at St. Lawrence Market earlier in the day.
We saw a bit of another show as well, but they were less memorable and their sound system kept crashing. All in all, it was a fun summer evening in the city.
Oh, and here's the 22 week picture. (I missed 21 weeks, because the Husband/Photographer was out of town!)

Apparently you really weren't cool in grade 2, because in grade 2 I happened to have almost exactly that same pair of tights as Audrey, except that mine were fluorescent pink with black spots, and I had the matching top! :-P
