taste of co

We love festivals! Well, let me rephrase - I love the idea of festivals with the food, drinks, and entertainment. I am not a huge fan of crowds (not sure how I survived in Chicago all those years). We decided to endure all the people to follow the dream of enjoying a pickle-on-a-stick outdoors on a beautiful Colorado day. Yes, I said dream - that's how much the Meyer girls love pickles!

I have to give B some props as he found the best parking spot ever - free meter one block from the entrance. It was so darn good he even took a picture of it. (I'll post it ASAP!)

We went with festival rules and let the girls order whatever 'taste' they wanted. Annabelle knew exactly what she wanted - ice cream and juice. No hesitation when asked! GG took a little persuading to make a decision but in the end decided that funnel cake is fabulous! I attempted to explain to her it's just a little pancake batter and she could have that any old time but she was not deterred and was quite pleased with her choice. Check out our big girl using a fork - she touches the piece with her fork and then picks it up with her other hand and puts it in her mouth. We still count it as using a fork and give her love for her excellent table/stroller manners.
The dream was realized -- AAAAHHH, pickle-on-a-stick! I realize I paid $4 so these yahoos could take a pickle out of a big jar they bought at Costco and jam a stick in it...thanks, no need to point that out to me. It was delicious and worth every penny to share it with my girls.
That's my girl! After I got one bite, she stole the pickle (sans the stick) and I never got it back again. I'm so very proud...

Gorgeous Colorado day
Time to head home with some full tummies and happy girls!
