Festival of Books

We heard about the Festival of Books at UCLA from Uncle Alan because The Doodlebops were going to perform there. Since we weren't doing anything we decided to take Makayla out there to check it out. Plus she so into her books lately. Also a quick update that she knows all her ABC's already and it's from her books that she reads and the famous Alphabet song. We couldn't believe the crowd that this book festival draws. We read that it brings in over 100,000 people. We did make it to the Target stage where they had all the performers for the kids. There were authors signing books and all kinds of fun things going on, but it was a super hot day!

Makayla had to sit on Daddy's shoulders to see the big Doodlebops show and boy was she boppin' on Dad. Daddy's poor neck!

The Doodlebops in action! We just saw them not too long ago and boy our seats were way better then, but what do we expect for free. It was fun for Makayla to see them again since she just absolutely loves them! They did a nice job being in their hot costumes outside.

We stuck around and checked out some of the book stands after The Doodlebops sang, had some lunch and then got to see Johnny and the Sprites. Another show from Disney that Makayla watches. She likes them a lot too!

On our way out we saw the famous Bruin and Makayla had to stand in front of it to send to Uncle Binh since this is where he graduated from for Medical School. He was so proud! It was a really nice campus!
