Okay, so I was SO excited about going to the BBQ Festival nearby. I had never been (shocker), but couldn't imagine having good ole southern barbeque ALL around. How to choose what to eat? Where to start? Oh, the possiblity. I even dragged Kad along...and the kiddies. G loves bbq like her mommy. Noni & Popi were there too. It rained periodically...a lot. It was hot, and humid, and oh-so-Georgia sticky, but it was so worth it!
Gabriella saw a man dressed as a giraffe, and was fine until she and Noni walked up to him (to get something he was passing out), and he leaned down. She totally freaked out, shaking and crying hysterically! This is not like her, so we were pretty surprised. Though I felt bad, it was hard not to laugh! Aw, poor thing, and we didn't even get the treat he was handing out. This was the very beginning of the festival, so the entire time, she kept asking about the giraffe, and looking around. :( She kept saying, "I no like giraffe! He 'cared me." I guess she needed reassurance, b/c she kept repeating us, "The giraffe is gone. I don't have to see him anymore." We distracted her right away by letting her get her face painted for the first time.
Little Kruz loves being in the stroller, and just chilled the whole time:
(Note his foot in the pic below. We were cracking up.)
The orange balloon Gabriella got to pick when she got her face painted. It's her fav color, and she loved it...until Popi pointed out that the giraffe's picture is on it! Popi!
A day of 'firsts.' Here she is enjoying her first piece of corn on the cob. I'll let you guess by the pictures whether she liked it or not:
Please don't drop my sweet baby on his head:
I love festivals. I love public events (strange?). I love fall. I love barbeque. I love my family. So, I guess you could say, I loved this day!
