NWSS 2011 Music Festival

The weather was perfect - low 80's; so lot's of sunshine, a small group of friends, camping, kid's art, and MUSIC.  I found a new group that I've been listening to non-stop... it's not blue grass - which if you didn't know the Northwest String Summit is not your typical blue grass music festival.  It definitely is not traditional blue grass but a big mix with blue grass 'inspired'.  Elephant Revival - check them out.  I really enjoyed listening to them on Sunday.     
Kid's this year - Bailey, Parker, Reece,

 Chase, Kai, Sophia and Caitlyn.  It was fun to watch them all play together and have fun.  Bailey and Reece were everywhere together.  Sophia was right there in the mix.  Parker and Caitlyn and Kai were entertaining us all as well.
Yonder Mountain put on awesome shows of course - they basically started the NWSS festival so they are always the headliner band.  So fun!
Bailey practiced hula hooping and did pretty well.  She got it and would hoop for a bit - she would get her arms out and start swinging her hips super fast.

 Cute!
I think this music festival is getting bigger - there were lot's of people - more than I remembered in past years.  This was the 10th anniversary!  We even talked to the car next to us (with Indiana plates) a family that traveled with their kid's road trip style - can you imagine?  They weren't camping, staying at Homewood Suites but what cool parents I thought!  Crazy but cool.  ha
