We had a great Father's Day weekend. The weather wasn't great, but we didn't let the grey skies get us down and headed out on Saturday for the Washington State Brewer's Festival. We'd heard of it before, but had never been, so we packed up the kids and decided to go.
The thing we noticed immediately when we got there and were walking in with our double BOB stroller was that there were SO many kids there (and mostly little ones.) I can't tell you how many times we've brought the kids to places (happy hours at family restaurants with friends, other festivals) where kids were allowed but no one else really brought them and we were looked at like we were crazy or just really out of touch to bring them. So we really liked that aspect. They had a whole section where they had blow up slides and bouncy houses for kids to go on. We let Santi out to run around in it for awhile, but he didn't want to go on the bouncy stuff, which was fine with us because all of the other kids were a lot older (and rougher) than he is.
We had a great time walking around, and sampling the different beers. We got some food for Santi and then let him run around some more before heading to the playground outside of the festival area. Santi had a great time running, sliding and going on the swings. And Gaby even got to go on the swings for the first time! She liked it but was over it pretty quickly. After leaving, we headed home with two tired kiddos (both fell asleep in the car on the way home.) We made dinner when we got home, and after we all ate, put the kids to bed and hung out.
Sunday morning, after a sleepless night due to Gaby waking every couple of hours, we went to church, then to eat lunch and then came home for naps. Tito enjoyed his gifts (some handmade things from the kids, and a new toolbox from all of us) and we had a nice dinner and put the kids to bed and went to bed early ourselves.
Gaby treated us to waking up every hour from when she went to bed through this morning. After talking to some friends, I've realized she's in a 4 month sleep regression period. We never went through this with Santi (he slept through the night from 6 weeks on and has never had sleep issues) so it hit us out of the blue. From what I've read it's really normal, but that doesn't mean it's not hard! And no real sleep is even harder!
All in all it was a great weekend though - here are some photos!
