No go on BBQ

Madison Square Park was having a barbeque festival over the weekend. We've tried a few places around here, and they just don't compare to TX (of course). As we walked over to the park we got so excited- we could smell the pits from blocks away. Unfortunately, so could all of the New Yorkers. The place was packed. Conan tried to go get us some food but it was madness. And, as you can tell from the picture below, a brochure about the festival will only keep a (almost!) one year old occupied for so long. We went to a restaurant close by and got salads instead. The LG enjoyed that because he got to try some crazy new vegetables. He ate artichoke hearts, grilled bell pepper, and beets for the first time. He seemed to like them all. 

On the way home we discovered Christopher now hates the rain cover for  his stroller. I understand, it looks like a big plastic bag. I'm surprised he's dealt with it this long. He and Conan went home while I ran some errands. Apparently the LG screamed the entire way home until Conan took off the cover. I guess Christopher was just letting him no he wanted to be drenched by the rain like everyone else. Crazy baby! Here he is on Dad's shoulders, his favorite.

I do hope there will be BBQ for the Party! I have a little something for the LG... putting it in the mail today, so +hopefully+ it will get there in time for the weekend, though late for the actual day! We send our love from Georgia though! Talk to you soon!
