El Llano en Capachos

To celebrate Father's Day and Abuelo Jose's birthday, we went to a restaurant called Capachos, which is themed after El Llano in Colombia. The atmosphere, food and entertainment were exceptional and we had a great time!

Mateo would wander closer to the dance floor for a better look at the musicians

Francesca also enjoyed watching the dancers and would blink in wonder as the stomp of the sandaled feet clapped on the floor and the bright colors of the dresses twirled in front of her.

I can dance, too!

Give me five, Mateo!

Being the charmer that he is, Mateo made his way onto the dance floor to do a little number with the singer, only after Mama assured him that it was ok.
