Hot Sauce Festival

We took the kids downtown today, to The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival. I love a good festival. I love the music, the food, and I especially love a good theme - and hot sauce is a good theme!. We sampled a few great salsas - Ace was not pleased by the habanero hot sauce, but Ben said he liked it.

The highlight for our boys was the chance to have their faces painted. They've been asking since our trip to the Philly Zoo earlier this summer. Both chose Elmo today, although I tried to persuade them towards other choices. You can never have too many Elmo's, according to our face-painter.

After a short while, the tasting lines grew a little long for the buddies, so we left the park, grabbed a quick lunch with our friends, and headed home.
