Last weekend was Celtic Fest here in Bethlehem, so the town was filled with bagpipers, Irish dancers, and crazy people who think they're at the Renaissance Fair. We had some oddly warm weather for late September (in the 90s). But I guess that was better than a rainout. Owen had a great time listening to the Celtic music over the weekend. He really liked the bagpipes - he even smiled and started clapping when the piper started playing. He was also thrilled with one of the trees underneath the bridge - not sure what that was all about, but he was laughing about it!
We had some nice meals at Brewworks, where they featured a bunch of Irish specials over the weekend. We bought a travel booster seat for Owen, so we tried sitting him in the booths with us, and it worked out pretty good. He enjoyed sitting next to us, but tried crawling out of his seat a few times.
We got babysitters on Friday and Saturday night, so that we could enjoy some of the festivities while Owen was sleeping. Both nights, Enter the Haggis was playing the closing shows, so we caught parts of those shows. They really put on a great show! We also caught a traditional Celtic band (Scatter the Mud) downstairs at Brewworks. The weekend ended with show by the Red Hot Chilli Pipers that Owen got to enjoy with us.
