Like the Oompa Loompa Dee Do!

"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men."  - Roald Dahl

Today we enjoyed the Radyr Festival again.  This year's theme was the characters of Roald Dahl, and my girls were thrilled to once again march in the parade in costumes made my the ever-so-clever, Jane Morris.  What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning...

Sophie and Emma as Oompa Loompas extraordinaire with THE man, Willy Wonka, played brilliantly by our good friend Michael.

Mr. Twit, another brilliant Jane Morris creation


Lili was so excited to meet Willy Wonka!
And yes, of course, I'm having a spot of tea!


All of the Oompa Loompas and Willy Wonka in the parade


The girls were happy to get those green wigs off in the end.


Lili was a happy bunny.  She loved all of the colors and music and activity.
Hurray for festival day... our last one here!!

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl
