Scattered showers lingered over Pensacola the whole weekend. It wasn't enough to dampen spirits (or attendance) at the Pensacola Seafood Festival which was held in beautiful, historic Seville Square.

It's Ace! [Someone mentioned dogs might not be allowed in for this event in the Square. Whereupon Ace promised if he saw any dogs he would immediately tell them to leave.] "
Ace, Ace, baby..." ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCt7p7Mvfb7cIYxH5TI_ueeDSbNdyrCYxPiVoEWTWSGutAHqxmrjGXgiXSVM_VJCcQxdKRB4vf6e8OGFj4-5rg9mCuG5pApQ76YyWiwiMccukFtVGxzz-6hf4rkpmA0uy8qc25Lw/s400/Drenched-baby.jpg)
Yikes, a shrink-wrapped baby! Actually this baby girl looked like a Zen master! Though her cupholder was full of rainwater and droplets covered her face, she sat peacefully and enjoyed the whole experience, not ruffled in the least.
