Avenues Street Fair '09

Last Saturday was the Avenues Street Fair, an annual commnity fair in our neighborhood.  They pick a different East-West street each year (since the north-south streets are on hills), and there are typically 6-8 blocks of local shops, restaurants, food vendors, and music folks represented.  It's great!

We usually have a booth for Continuing Ed (my job), to get the word out to the community about our classes, so I had to go up at 8 am to help set it up.  Ever tried to rush a not-quite-2-year-old through a bowl of cereal? Just give up before you start.  Anyway, Freddy was helpful - in that he didn't get in the way - and when we finished, we caught up with a bunch of friends at the informal children's parade at 9. Trikes, strollers, and backpacks everywhere!  You can't tell from the photo below, but he had a good time dancing to the music, too.  I had to go back to work the booth for a 4-hour shift that afternoon, and had a sitter since Bill was out of town.  It was a good - long, busy day.
