Visiting Frederick

Last weekend Q and I spent the day at the Frederick Festival of Arts. We really enjoyed ourselves, although I didn't get to browse the actual "art" very much at all. Quinn was not into the shopping and browsing part of the festival! Needless to say, she's much more of an "On-the-Goer."

So to keep my girl busy, we stopped at the arts and crafts tent for young'uns. She LOVES getting her face painted, so she got a purple ladybug and then colored a sticker for herself (which promptly went onto her arm).

Is she doing a good job, Mommy?

Yep, acceptable art!

As we walked along Carroll Creek in and out of tents, Quinn kept noticing the paddle boaters and kayakers in the water. Naturally, she wanted to take a spin, so we got into a paddle boat of our own for a while and cruised to the end of the creek and back. She kept wanting to race all of the other people in the water. I, on the other hand, wished we could have had the creek to ourselves! But I digress...

The cutest First Mate I've ever seen

After we (she) tired of the art fair, we walked through Downtown Frederick and took in a couple of clothing shops along the way. We found a cool fountain that made for some cute pictures, the one of me she took with my Nikon D40X all by herself! Uncle Mike, maybe we have a photographer in the making!

Cute as a bug...

My budding artist took this!
