Outdoor Wine Tasting

On Saturday we attending a wine tasting in Millennium Park. Outdoors and in the afternoon, we thought this would be a great opportunity for all three of us to do something together and be the urban family we claim to be!

All was going well. Gilbert was in a fantastic mood all day and continued his great demeanor as we strolled along tasting wines. Then, Gilbert had a 'stranger, danger moment'. A grandfather type got down to Gilbert's level while he was in his stroller and violated Gilbert's zone of comfort. So much for Gilbert staying in his stroller!

Once he has a stranger, danger moment, he does not recover well. With the safety of his stroller compromised he wanted to be held the rest of the tasting. So, we took turns passing him from one another as we tasted As the day passed in to the evening, the area became more crowded and knew it was time to head out.

However, we had a good time and enjoyed being out. The weather was fantastic and along the way we were able to catch up with some friends who had recommended the event to us. It was a good time.
