Loufest, 2017
Have baby, will ROCK.
We went up north earlier in the week to celebrate Mark's grandfathers 97(!!) birthday and left ourselves essentially enough time to park at home, call a taxi (uber/lyft won't let you ride sans car seat) and replenish the diaper bag.
We got about 4 blocks away before realizing I forgot hearing protection for Owen, thus having to run back home (on foot!) to grab them. We spent the better part of two days playing the on/off game with them...
In the end rushing about was totally worth -- Huey Lewis and the News {lineup} were sooooo good.
Loukidz was FANTASTIC. I didn't have large expectations since Owen was young but devoured a piece of humble pie because -- so much fun.
Most notable moment: Owen walking over to the drum instructor, sitting on the toadstool like a big kid with zero inhibitions and KILLING IT. Biased yes, but the kid was awesome. I'll send video proof.
Nosh Pit options, yet again were fruitful -- skipping anything of nutritional value I opted for a hot dog, covered in mac and cheese, topped with bacon #noregrets.
Pro Tip: bring a picnic blanket. Light enough to toss in the stroller without having to sit in the grass/on the concrete.
Until next year Loufest!
