Texas Book Festival

Last weekend I attended the Texas Book Festival in Austin. My daughter, Arabella, and I had lots of fun visiting the different tents to meet authors, hear about books, participate in arts and crafts activities, and meet some of our favorite characters.

Here's Arabella and me with the Cat in the Hat!

(Arabella was excited to meet the Cat until we got close; then she got scared!),

And here's Arabella taking a lunch break on the lawn of the State Capitol. (Her nose is orange because she had her face painted like a cat!)
