This year, the bluegrass festival had one of my favorite bands, the Seldom Scene. They played a lot of songs that I love- the only one I wish they had played that they didn't was "Last Train From Poor Valley" but they did play a lot of songs from Act 1 so I just sang along. They played under this shelter...it was such a funny mix of old Episcopalians and younger hippies.
The crowd was definitely laid back and the weather could not have been more perfect. The Seldom Scene played for about 2 hours and this other band that was actually pretty good too, the Farewell Drifters, played for about two hours- the concert went from 3 until 7.
Here's a great picture of Anne and Vake...he was very excited to get to hang around with cool Aunt Anne. Little V was very patriotic in his flag smock.
Vake loved being with the people- he didn't take very good naps at all- he was way too interested in everything that was going on. He especially was interested in staring at his quilt from Grandma Sue. Everytime I put him in the tripod sitting position, he would lean way over to try to see the pattern of the quilt.
As I said, we could not have asked for a better day weatherwise. Here Vake and I are- he's apparently trying to mash my cheeks into submission.
Vake also seems to have my skin, not Eric's. Our pediatrician has suggested that we be really careful about sunscreen until he hits six months- so I put this cute little blue hat on him and we just tried to be cautious about too much sun but he didn't show any signs of being burned today- that may be that we didn't go out to the field until about 3:15 or so...
By the end of the show, my little buddy was tuckered out and was ready for a snooze...but we all had a GREAT time!
