The non-profit that Ed works for, Young Audiences, had its annual Mad Hatter's Tea Party event on May 8th. Unfortunately, Ed had class and couldn't be there, but Elizabeth and I weren't going to miss it. She had just seen Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" a couple weeks earlier when Grandma had come down for the weekend, so to say that Elizabeth was excited to meet all the characters would be a bit of an understatement! We took the train into Midtown (another huge plus in her book), and spent the morning with the characters making crafts, watching some performances, dancing, and even making a tea cup completely out of candy. It really was a great event, and Elizabeth was a very happy girl!
(Video translation: At the beginning, she's jabbering on about Thomas the Tank Engine since we're waiting for the train; Mr. Eric is a musician who performed at the event--Elizabeth has one of his CDs and is a big fan; she also says we'll see the Mad Hatter, Alice, and the Cheshire Cat; at the end she says she's also excited to see "the blue worm" who will turn into a beautiful blue butterfly.)
