SC - Kids and feasts

[Morgan Parris]

My five year old, well she will be six at silver hammer.  LOVES just
about any food you put in front of her.  She loves eating feast with
the adults.  The trying new foods is great fun for her.  She will try
at least a taste of everything and is usually full by the end of the
event.

I do try to bring a small toy or some crayons if she gets boared
during the lapses in feast

However, my husband is extemely picky not even trying half the food. 
I wish i could sendhim to the childrens feast.

Mine is the world that shuns the light.  
For all the evil that ever has been or ever will be;
