Supporting the Arts

Since I moved to Louisville in 2004, my mom and I have been attending the St. James Court Art Show which is a huge art fair with lots of crafts, art and good food.  We usually spend several hours looking at all the booths and making our way up every street and alley.  Well this year we took Jax along.  While we might have cut the trip a little short and not make it to every booth, we had a fantastic time.

It was a perfect fall day with cool crisp air and sunshine.   We started the morning off refreshed (well some of us) and ready to start shopping.  Jax was happy as could be in his stroller with his blanket and sock monkey.

We walked around for almost two hours before taking a break for lunch.  During our break my mom and I had to try out the adorable hat she bought Jax.  It is made form old sweaters and is just too cute.  I think Jax liked it as well. 

Getting a little play time in before heading back to the arts and crafts!

We were over half way through when Jax started to get a little restless.  It had been over 3 hours of riding in the stroller and a baby can only take so much!  We therefore got him out and took turns carrying him while we headed back toward our car.  Can you tell from the expression that Jax was about done?

On our way out we had to stop at one of the booths to pick up some purchases that they were holding for us.  Mom went ahead to pick the purchases up while I stayed behind to sit down with Jax.  He looked like this within moments of us sitting down.

Jax was exhausted and slept on the way home.  We had such a great day and mom and I both got a start on our Christmas shopping!  It finally feels like fall and I love it.
