The Baker Act: Pumpkin Festival and Pho

Yet another fun day of exploring! We started the day in Belmont {random} satisfying my consignment sale addiction. We made a morning of it playing at a local park and finding a little restaurant for lunch {all strategically planned to be in close to proximity to the store- I had to be there the moment they opened, they just got a bunch of new stuff!}. I won't bore you with the details. But I got some crazy deals on some fancy kid things. It always makes my heart race.

We came home for some nap time drama. Christian doesn't usually nap, but does occasionally really, really needs one. He's needed one for a week. I was determined to get him to go to sleep. Instead, it was just an hour and a half of drama. All I got out of it was a really bad headache. Not worth it. Ugh.

Despite the drama filled afternoon, we got ourselves together {some better than others} and headed out to the Pumpkin Festival at Boston Commons.

Me and my sweet little sea horse. I'm sad that Christian had to miss out on this picture. He was in timeout causing a ruckus. Our poor neighbors.

Thanks, Danielle, for the {rare} family picture!

It was a beautiful walk to the commons. The kids had a blast, especially at the playground. We met up with {more family!} Danielle. She helped chase the kiddos around, it's always nice having an extra hand!

I love Pho. We found a decent Pho place in Charlotte, but it was a hike to get to. After the festival, we walked into Chinatown and had dinner at Xinh Xinh. It was authentic and delicious. I was in heaven. The kids enjoyed it as well.
