Bluegrass

We took our friends the Walschs up to Blue Grass tonight. This was their very first time and although I tried to take a picture to capture the moment JW wouldn't comply and then my camera battery died. Bluegrass is something our family loves to do come fall and spring. For those unfamiliar with this activity this is not a Bluegrass Festival or concert really. The mayor whom Nate and I know from college runs and organizes this saturday night event that takes place in the smallest little town 15 miles of us. The local sheriff roasts the hot dogs, and the old ladies and sometimes us young ins bring some side dishes to go along with the dogs. You just throw your money in a jar and help yourself. They take donations for the food and drinks. Then you sit around in lawn chairs by the bonfire and listen to some good ole boys play and pick in a little opry house the size of an SUV. I can't say exactly what makes it so fun, but it feels like wholesome family fun, and the kids just run around and play games while adults chat. I treated J and M to some of my Bluegrass aprreciation sounds like the yiiippp yeeep yiheee ahhh. And of course the cacacacak caaaaawl.
