bite of Seattle

We went to check out the Bite of Seattle this past Saturday. It was supposed to be a huge festival where nice restaurants sample their food and offer small plates for sale. Unfortunately, Comcast took over as the sponsor recently and the cuisine was 95% fair food - not my idea of good food! So, I didn't eat anything, but we still had a nice time as a family.

We started the trip off with Oliver (and Elliott's) first bus ride - it was a huge hit! And really convenient, I didn't miss dealing with car seats at all! When we got there, we enjoyed live music, a reptile show in the family area, dock dogs, police horses and new Ford cars!

Oliver is no longer afraid of large animals!

Since we didn't spend any money on food, I bought Oliver this cool bubble gun instead! We've seen them at all the fairs recently and they are a big hit with the kids

Oliver tried to spray people's legs with bubbles as they walked past him. It's a good thing he's cute and small, because everyone thought it was funny.

see, Elliott and I were there too!

he played in at least four brand new Ford cars at their booth, better theirs than ours!

and the day ended with a bus ride home, thankfully it was late so we didn't have to wait 20 minutes for the next one
