Last Sunday we went to a festival in North Beach, MD. It was called Bay Fest, as the name suggests it is right on the bay along a boardwalk. North Beach is a relatively small town so it doesn’t get over crowded and a fun time was had by all. Tristan tried Cotton Candy, French Fries, and Funnel Cake for the first time. He loved all of them. Tristan is such a ham, he waves now so everyone that walked by us got a “hi” and a wave. People just love to stop and chat with him. There were live bands at both ends of the festival, Tristan was delighted. He loves to dance, his version of dancing is a half squat with a little hip movement and he throws his arms up and waves them around. I will have to get it on video one day. 

We met up with a friend of Rick’s from High school, they have a daughter who is my nieces age so of course we had to ride the rides and get airbrush tattoos. At the end of the day we were exhausted but I love my family and friends and it was a perfect ending to the weekend. We picked up a great wooden rattle that was made by an American Indian, who was also playing a flute. Tristan was in awe of this man and his flute. It amazes me how Tristan pays attention to everything. I sometimes forget that he is only 10 months old because he often acts older.

 The picture in this post is of Tristan and Dee our family friend saying goodbye, I taught Tristan to rub noses and I call it an Eskimo kiss. I am not sure where the name comes from but it is Tristans favorite thing to do now.
