A Taste of Summer

Charlotte held its annual 'Taste of Charlotte' downtown last weekend.  A mile or so of booths lining the main street, selling food and food-related and food-unrelated items.  You walk along, you spy something that looks potentially delicious, you sample.

We tried some sushi.  The trick was to keep Benjamin from poking all six of our eyes out with the chopsticks.

The bubble machine was a huge hit.

So was the fountain.  I think he wanted to get in and cool off with that other kid.  He looks pretty happy.

It started to warm up by noon.  We ended up hitting the smoothies pretty hard. 

Via a combination of strolling, getting Daddy to carry him, and self-propulsion, Benjamin made it the whole way to the end and back to the car.
