Bite of Las Vegas

Every year one of the local radio stations hosts a food and music festival called Bite of Las Vegas. It is a full day of concerts and food from different places here in Las Vegas. I wanted to go as soon as they started advertising the bands, but wasn’t sure about taking Boston. As it got closer and the forecast called for perfect weather, I decided it was worth a shot.

We decided to miss the first few bands and go after Boston’s nap. I don’t think I have ever wanted him to wake up so badly, so of course, he took a nice long nap. When he finally woke up we headed out. We got to the park right as the Plain White T’s were wrapping up. After that we saw Matt Nathanson, Better Than Ezra, and One Republic. Boston was supper cute, bopping and dancing to the music. He was also a big fan of the food. The worker at one of the restaurant booths gave him some yellow watermelon to try (yep yellow watermelon, I had never heard of it) and he loved it. He also swiped my smoothie and decided it was worth figuring out a straw for.

By the time One Republic took the stage, the sun had set and the weather was perfect. Boston was also totally worn out, so he let me snuggle him through the entire concert. He never stays still long enough to let me snuggle him, so that alone would have made it a great day. Add in the good food, weather and music and it was an awesome day with my two favorite boys.

A good day

Today was a really busy, really fun day. We started out at the park, where we learned Boston is a huge fan of swings- so cute!

After a pit stop at home for naptime, we headed to a birthday party one of Riley’s coworkers was throwing for her 2-year-old. This party put many small town fairs and festivals to shame. It had a carnival theme and included a ferris wheel, bounce house play land (3 or 4 separate rooms), face painters, air brush tattoos,  a lady making balloon animals, a shaved ice stand, all you can eat from the Slidding Through Food Truck (if you ever see this truck, stop and buy something- it was so good), funnel cakes with all the works, gourmet popcorn and much more! It was amazing and overwhelming all at the same time.

Then we headed to the “County Fair" our stake hosted. We got there just in time to see a friend’s family band perform. They did a great job. Boston had lots of fun dancing and playing with the friends we were sitting by (swiping their stuff). Now we are at home relaxing, and reflecting on a good day J.
