Yesterday we went downtown to a carnival party {Vivere il Carnevale}. Carnevale is the Italian style of Mardi Gras and is held over the weeks before Lent. It originated in Venice, but is held in towns around Italy until the Tuesday before Lent {when it's largest celebrations are}. We didn't make it to Venice this year, or any other year we have lived here for that matter, but still wanted to take part. We didn't see any fire breathers, acrobatics, or parades like I read about, but we still had fun and made the most of it! There was plenty of music, confetti, and face painting, and Connor had so much fun.
This cute vespa is always parked in this same spot.
Love these doors we always walk past.
He is the cutest.
Having fun with daddy going down the stairs.
He's such a mamas boy and I love it!
We forgot to dress Connor up in a costume, so we let him get his face painted. He was so excited! He looked through the binder and he wanted to be a "blue ninja turtle," so of course we made it happen.
Left: Showing us his ninja moves. Right: My loves walking hand in hand.
We came across these dancers.
Collecting streamers. {He brought them home and they are sitting in our living room in a bag. He's a hoarder.}
Just being a kid.
Our gelato before dinner was perfect!
Today we went to another carnevale celebration in Malo, but I will write a separate post about it.
XOXO,
Jenn
