Edmonds, day 1
Jun. 15th, 2018 08:39 pmFavorite things from the first day of the Edmonds Arts Festival:
1. The little girl, maybe three years old, who spun the wheel at the Edmonds Community College booth and won a prize, delightedly showing off her LED flashlight keychain to any and all passers-by.
2. Edmonds police patrol the festival, in pairs, in uniform, night stick, gun, the works. Then, in mid-afternoon, I see a solo officer, still in full fig, shopping with his wife while pushing the stroller containing their tiny, tiny baby.
3. The family of four--mom, dad, two boys about 8 and 6--who have a prolonged conversation, in Japanese, examining every pot in the booth featuring a crab or octopus, with both boys finding more options to point out. Younger son also has a teddy bear on his shirt, so Yuri (the bear in the icon, above) has an entertaining several minutes communicating in sign language (waving, dancing) before his parents settle on the octopus oval platter. Whereupon I hand him the bear to hold while I dig through boxes to find it and notice him puppeteering it back, waving at me.
