Dogwood Arts Festival

Carter and I went downtown to the Market Square Art Fair today. It is part of the Dogwood Arts Festival that is going on all month. We browsed the vendor booths and found a few presents for people. There were less vendors there than last year so it didn't take long to see everything. I packed a lunch and we found a nice spot in the little park area to eat.

Carter enjoyed getting out of his stroller for a little bit in the park. He liked checking out the stream and this sculpture ...


Carter played on this bench/sculpture for about 20 minutes. He was very mad when I decided it was time to move on ...


We caught part of the Cirque de Chine performance (they have a full show in Gatlinburg). Carter seemed to enjoy watching all the performers and put up with sitting on my lap on the ground for over 30 minutes.

I tried to take a picture of the two of us ...


Here are a few videos of the performers ...

I got this video of Carter watching the performers ...

It was a really nice day - cooler but sunny. Carter took a short nap on the way home and then we played outside the rest of the afternoon until Brian came home from work.
