Bryan has known how to blow glass for the last nine years, but for the last couple of years he`s taken a break to work and go to school. Within the last few months, he`s caught up with an old friend that also blows glass. This friend lets Bryan come in and make jewelry in his shop, so Bryan has gotten back into blowing glass. A couple of weeks ago, Bryan came to me and told me that he had heard about the Rosewood Crawfish Festival where artists can come and sell their work, and he wanted to rent a space for the day. So we packed up some of his paintings and all his jewelry, left Aidan with Mom, and took off at seven thirty last Saturday morning to go to this festival. Bryan has done a lot of things like this before, but I never have, and I really enjoyed myself. It rained off and on, and was pretty cloudy most of the day, but it was nice because it kept it cool for most of the day. I even ate crawfish etouffee(is that spelled right?) for the first time, something I`ve always thought I wouldn`t like, but it was SO GOOD. So, in retrospect, it was a nice day, we had fun and enjoyed being together, and I enjoyed trying new things. It wasn`t even hard to leave Aidan all day like I thought it would be(he`s never been away from both of us all day before.) I knew he was in good hands with my mom. There was one thing I saw at the festival that made me question some people`s sanity and common sense when it comes to parenting. I would like to know who on earth would bring their THREE WEEK OLD baby to a place that was as crowded as this was, with a ton of drunks and smokers, and completely unsanitary conditions, and lay her down on a portion of THE STREET while they enjoyed the festival. Especially with the while swine flu thing. Who would do that? We left our twelve month old at home because we thought that it wasn`t a good environment for a baby. Come on people.
