Druid City Art's Festival - Tuscaloosa, AL

Last weekend we were in Tuscaloosa, AL and had the chance to go to the Druid City Arts Festival.  Although there weren't very many people there, it was a great festival and Little Miss had a wonderful time!

There was rain threatening the entire time we were there (which might explain the low attendance).  However, we were able to park less than 1/2 a block away so we weren't too worried about it.  

Little Miss spied the bounce houses as soon as we got there.  Fortunately, there weren't many children in them yet so she got to have a great time playing before the older kids got there and it got too rough. 

This bounce house also had a slide, which she loved!

Later, some older children got in and actually RAN OVER Little Miss while she was waiting on her turn to go down the slide.  I scolded the children when they went to get back in the bounce house again since the mother either didn't see it or didn't care.  Is that okay to do?  In my opinion if you do something that puts my child at risk I'm going to say something to you!  

After the bounce house we went to the craft area, where we did some coloring and sidewalk chalk.  We also got to play with bubbles!

There was great music the entire time we were there, and artist booths were set up around the perimeter.  We listened to the music while we ate lunch.

All in all a great, family-friendly festival!

Wordless Wednesday - Downward Dog

Here is a picture of Little Miss doing Downward Dog on her Daddy's tummy last year!

We were hanging out at the Greater Good Music Festival.  

She's been a fan of yoga ever since!
