Our family spent Saturday afternoon at the Taste of Merrifield in the Mosaic District. We love going to the Mosaic District because of the Target there as well as its various shopping offerings and delicious restaurants, so when we heard there was going to be a food festival there along with activities for children, we had to go check it out! π We’re so glad we did, because we got to enjoy a lot of good food (at pretty affordable prices!) and Mio had a lot of fun at the kids’ section, too!
I got a kick out of the name of this food truck. “Naan Stop” — very clever!
Mio enjoying a free ice pop. It was a really warm day so it was perfect!
Walking hand in hand with Mommy. Γ’β’Β₯
Enjoying some tasty sliders from Matchbox.
They had a beer garden there, so Dan of course had to take advantage…
Dan enjoying his beer from Port City Brewing Company.
This beef concoction from Sea Pearl was AMAZING. So tender and it had a jalapeno kick!
Gourmet tacos — one beef brisket and one grilled chicken.
Mio can’t wait to dig in! She didn’t want to look up from the food.
With our tummies full, we moved onto the kids’ activities. Here we are waiting to get Mio’s face painted.
Mirei woke up but quietly waited in her stroller.
It was finally Mio’s turn!
A glittery penguin on Mio’s cheek. The lady did kind of a cruddy job IMHO…
Mio found the Lego building station and went right to work! She LOVES building blocks.
Our little builder!
Mirei and I watching Mio build away.
Mio wanted to stay there forever! We eventually had to tear her away…
Mio got to go on her first pony ride there, too! We asked her if she wanted to use the remaining tickets we had on more food or a pony ride, and she (surprisingly to us) picked the pony ride!
Dan captured some video of the pony ride!
Don’t be jelly, Mirei… You’ll eventually be able to eat delicious food and go on pony rides, too!
It was a really fun day for the whole family! We’re already looking forward to going again next year. π
