Every year in Reno/Sparks there are lots of events that happen.
This year Ava went to her first Rib Cook Off (my first time too)!
We went twice. It was really fun! Since I am still on maternity leave my parents and I were able to go to the rib cook off the first day just hours after it opened so there weren't too many people there yet. It was awesome! The ribs were great! It was really fun. The second time we went on Saturday night. It was crowded. We couldn't even move some of the time. There were lines for ribs, people standing around eating, or talking. We had to park over 6 blocks away from the event. It was really interesting.
The second event we went to was the Reno Balloon Races. We got up at 5am. Instead of parking and walking about 2 miles to set up camp at the park to watch the balloons I thought it would be a much better idea if we just parked the car on the side of the road and watched from there. It would be hard to push the stroller, carry lawn chairs, blankets and everything for baby and bundling stuff for us as well. The car worked out well. We didn't have to carry anything. I got to feed the baby in the car. We didn't have to walk. And we got an awesome view of the balloons!
I'm looking forward to the other events that Ava gets to attend this year.
It was way fun to have Ribs with you on Sat. I just love Reno for all the events. It must be so much fun doing them with Ava!
ReplyDeleteIt is! And next year we can go with both girls! It will be a lot of fun! Maybe we can go to the Balloon Races too.
