Today we met up with Auntie J and Aunt Ally for HONFEST! A truly unique Baltimore celebration of the 50's beehive's, unique clothing choices, local food, music and vendors. We had a BLAST!!

The girls' stop for a quick group shot before heading over to the festivities!

This picture says it ALL about Honfest!

Mmmm, kettle corn!

The streets are FILLED with Bawlmer Hons'!

Everyone seems to get in on the action :-)

If you decide once you get here that you need to HON it up,

you can always dress up!!

She had so much fun with her Aunts today!!

Bugs~Trolls~Ice cream!!

So Claire's new thing lately is to ask for ice cream, like constantly!

Most of the time, we say no....

Today, because it was SOOOO HOT, we decided to give in :-)

Unfortunately, our lil lady got yet another facial insect bite.

As you can see her face is all puffy around her right eye :-(

On a lighter note, we were at a flea market today(scored an AWESOME Uncle Jim present:)

and the man we purchased it from thought she was

so cute he gave her a Troll, which she LOVES!!
