Irish Fest

This weekend , we took the family and walked over to the Irish American Heritage Center for the annual IrishFest – check out the poster.   Being 87% Irish (1/8th French Canadian), it is a chance to impart some my family heritage on my four kids. It was a great time with kids games, and a chance to hear some incredible Irish music. Patrick loved listening to the music and checking out the cool Irish t-shirts, Katie was firmly planted at the Celtic Art table, trying her hands at drawing Celtic Art, Ben was jumping on the Jumping Jack Moonwalk and Ryan loved trying the bean bag toss at the Baggo booth.  We love the summer in Chicago because of festivals like this.  Chicago has so many excellent festivals –  I love living in the city and being able to walk or jump on public transportation to expose my family to my heritage and many other cultures living side by side here in this world class city!
