Food & Wine Festival

Ok, so admittedly I would never take a less-than-two-year-old to a fancy food and wine festival (Taste of the Nation, for those who know it), but my friend Dana had two free tickets, and we figured we'd expose the kiddos to something new. Her son Rio is one of Freddy's best friends, and they are moving to CA next week, so we'll take all the playtime we can get with those guys.

The festival was up at Solitude ski resort, which is really beautiful this time of year. The boys tolerated being in the backpacks while we collected all sorts of yummy tidbits from the fanciest local restaurants, then happily played with trucks while we tried to get them to eat fancy food like paella (etc.). Just as they were about to lose it (2 hours past naptime!), they noticed the pond with the walkway around it, and woke up again long enough to chase each other around and throw some rocks. Best buds and super cute!

You also get a nice look at Freddy's busted lip, gums, and possibly tooth...we're waiting to see if the tooth stays in. Jumping off the couch into the coffee table never ends well, does it?
