Like I mentioned in my last post, Asha really enjoys Irish Dancing. She is taking an Irish Dancing class each week, and for St. Patrick's day they had a performance downtown at the Seattle Center. This really helped us get into St. Patrick's day this year. I even got books from the library about Ireland and enjoyed learning a little bit about Ireland's history.
Here are some fun Ireland facts for all you Irish fans out there:
1. Did you know that rain falls about 150 to 225 days a year in Ireland? That makes for one green place!!
2. Did you know that ferries take the people to and from the many islands that surround Ireland? This is sounding more and more like Seattle to me!!
3. Did you know that all schools in Ireland speak Gaelic, the first official language of Ireland? I'm not sure if I have ever even heard Gaelic before. Hmmmm?
4. Did you know that potatoes have always been a large part of the Irish diet. Mashed potatoes with lots of butter is my favorite!! =)
I hope you enjoyed a few fun facts about Ireland from the, "Ireland - A Question and Answer Book" by Mary Dodson Wade.
Finally, here are some pictures of Asha at her performance on St. Patrick's Day.
After the performance we hung out down at the Seattle Center. Here is the gang!
