  A) Good luck to you. I've heard since they moved the festival to RO it's a nightmare to get around.

  We always enjoy the company of our families. We actually like them.

  It's usually just us but we've invited grandparents before.

  On Saturdays I usually take LO to MIL's house and on Sundays I take him to my parents so we don't often invite them out on DH's days off.

  If she was planning on going that day either way, then I think it's fine that you told her you were going too.

  Family day = Just me, DH, and DD IMO.

  Usually just DD, DH and I. We see my parents though a few times during the week since they only live a few miles away, and we see DH's parents once a week (45 min away.) so family day is usually just us.

  For me, family day would not include grandparents. The 3 of us rarely get to do anything fun together, so I would not be happy if I was your DH either.

  Sometimes it's grandparents too.  We really love DH's parents and spending time with them, they are very good to us.  However, I think it is also important to spend time with just DH, LO and I.

  A) I was just telling DH that it is so much better than when it was in Pontiac.  We went for three years in Pontiac and DH swore that he would never, ever attend that festival again.  It was too crowded and we just shuffled from place to place.  I went with my sister this year in Royal Oak and we could actually move.  DH gave me the side-eye when I took our stroller, but it wasn't a problem at all.

  Family day is just us.  Our families can be a bit overbearing and family day is kind of code for "No, you are not invited, and you may not invite yourself."

  Interesting that we've had such different experiences. Well, mine wasn't experience.. I just stay away from A, B & E at all costs. But I'm glad you were able to get around! Good to know!
