The Elijah Polka

We went to the Legends Shopping center to walk around for a few hours. It's like a great outdoor mall. The boys love to run around and to look at the fountains and we all enjoy the exercise. But Elijah found something else to enjoy – polka music.

There was a live band playing in one of the courtyards, the Alpen Spielers, a German Oompah band. With tuba, accordian, alphorn, and other assorted instruments, they began playing the "Pennsylvania Polka" while we were admiring the main fountain's hourly display and Elijah just couldn't help himself. The oompah-pah reached something buried deep in his Bavarian genes and he began to dance and groove. He really liked it.

I blame Elmo and the Chicken Dance.
