Ingleton Gala

I have already forgotten which day I took Ethan to Ingleton Playgroup, but the ladies there mentioned a big Gala on Saturday. So Mama Zee and I took Ethan to see his first ever parade. Uncle Robin was it the Batala (pronounced Bat- ah- la ) not Bahtahla as the announcer said it. Its a samba drumming band that perform all over the UK. The weather was rainy on minute, and sunny the next but we had fun and soon , Adam, Papa Zee and Uncle Dan joined us.
Ethan doesn't like the rain cover. I think he feels too enclosed.

Uncle Robin's Big Performance It must be said that Uncle Robin and the guy to his right had the most difficult job. They drummed non stop for more an hour and a half. Which could account for his serious face. His arms must have been killing him!
Here is a video!
