Australia's Strange Fruit

Last Monday Ella and I ventured down to Millennium Park to see a group called Australia's Strange Fruit. They are a group from Australia that describe their performance as a mix of theater, dance, and circus. We rode the El downtown from our house and walked over to the park for the show. It was actually a very neat show. They perform atop of a tall poll that sways, then they basically do a dance up there.

Ella only lasted about 15min watching the show :( It was nice while it lasted though. When she had enough we walked over to the fountains in the park and Ella got to run around. Ella had a great time in the water. She even laid down a couple of times.

We were able to meet up with Marc afterward and grab some lunch before heading home. It's always fun to be able to go out and do or see something new.

I have to throw this video on this blog too. The other day Ella and I were leaving the gym and as we are walking out she just starts doing this little dance. I asked her what she was doing and she told me "choo-choo, choo-choo". I asked her if that was her choo-choo dance and she said "yah". When we got home, I asked her to do it for me, so I could get it on video. She definitely didn't do it as much as she was at the gym, but she did want to show Mona it. So, I got a video of her showing Mona how to do the "choo-choo" dance. It was so cute. Oh, and note the dress she is wearing, she picked out her own outfit that day.
