Dogwood Festival

Carter and I went downtown today for the Market Square Arts Fair that is part of the Dogwood Festival. There were a few good artists with pottery, jewelry, etc, but nothing so great that I wanted to buy anything. The Cirque de Chine group which has a show in Gatlinburg was performing on the stage when we had finished going through all the vendor booths. They do acrobatics, dancing, and other "tricks". Amazingly, Carter slept through most of what we watched, including the really loud drum performance.


I used the new Maclaren stroller we got today and loved it. It's so nice having a smaller stroller in crowds!!! There is a pocket on the back side of it that is perfect to hold my wallet and phone so I don't need a purse and the basket underneath easily holds everything I need for Carter. I really love how the end extends out for Carter's feet since he's not big enough yet to sit with his knees bent over the edge. Carter seems to like the stroller as well!

Carter also tried out his new swing today. He's a little small, but I stuffed a blanket around him to make the seat a little more snug. He really enjoy being outside and swinging.



Carter heard Charlotte on the deck above him and was looking for her.
