We hit up Grapefest (a huge wine festival) in Grapevine this past weekend. Our new good friends & neighbors Mark & Meghan joined us - Mark's a great stroller-pusher & diaper-bag-carrier and Meghan and I had a great time people watching and hitting up the shops. I must say that Charlotte is a great people-watcher too, she certainly comes by it honestly. It was crazy packed and more like a big carnival/festival than a wine tasting event. Daddy took Charlotte on her first carnival ride, the Carousel (I know, I know, swine flu, grossness germ carnie ride...why did I let her touch that nasty thing? of course I thoroughly cleaned her hands as soon as she got off). But she did have a great time riding the zebra and looking at all the lights (not sure if she or daddy had more fun though) and she looked awfully cute too.
After a few hours of festival fun including wine of course, some worth-the-hour-wait fajitas, a funnel cake, death by kennel corn and cotton candy (wait, did anyone but me steal some of Mark's cotton candy?) we were ready to head back home. Mark happily took care of Charlotte's stuff (well, after an entertaining lesson in stroller-folding), daddy kept her happy in the carrier and mommy & Meghan snuck behind snapping photos of "my two dad's" -- it was very cute...and entertaining. We warned Mark & Meghan that Charlotte was going to scream in the car the whole way home, but to our surprise, no screaming! A happy baby in the backseat with mommy & Meghan provided a pleasant ride home. A fun night was had by all!
