A trip in pictures: Carnival


Why are all these amazing toys abandoned???
I'm sure you're wondering exactly that!

Ok, they're not abandoned. 
I don't know if you remember that pinky promise I made you some days ago, but I always keep my promises, and even more if they're pinky one!
The picture is, because, FINALLY!!! I have the Carnival pictures!! Better late than never.
Truth is that, this post, is about my friend & her family's costumes. I can do a post about Carnival, with pictures of different people if you want it, but I think they deserve a post just for them, really.

CLARIFICATIONS:
#1 Everything you're going to see is real
#2 Everything you're going to see was handmade by them (toys, clothes, etc)
#3 They told me that this is the year they spent less time working on their costumes (I'm sorry, I don't believe them)

First of all, a little explanation about their costumes: they're children of an English boarding school. Every one of them carries a toy.

hope you enjoy this post! I'm sure not so much as we did being there, but I hope you enjoy it anyway, and if you have any chance to visit Toledo to know their Carnival, DO IT.

xo

ps: the Carnival's parade you see on the video, is in the little town, where there are not more than 1600 of population. But after this, we went to the big town, Toledo, to the important parade. They finished 3rd in the competition!!! But last weekend, in other town, they finished 1st!!!
