MUSIKFEST

Life has been busy! Unfortunately, I havent been taking tons of pictures. I keep forgetting to take my camera with me.
This weekend we went to Bethlehem for their annual MUSIKFEST. Its 10 days of musical performances that run all day. AMAZING!!
More than 300 performers from across the country and around the globe preform.
Musical programming at 14 different indoor and outdoor stages (11 stages are free)People come from all over to drink and dance. Of course, we went to just dance and eat. It was fabulous.
During the day we took the kids, that turned into a nightmare. Asher started crying about 30 minutes into the event, which is really unusual for him. He is always very happy and content. We assumed it was his teeth, he is getting all 4 of his incisors. But he accelerated into hysteria and cried for over 1 hour. Finally as we were leaving, Mike thought to take off his shoes. For some reason Ashers shoes were really hurting him. He had no socks on, and the shoe was just pinching him in all the wrong places.It must have been extremely painful and he just couldn't tell us. I felt like such a bad mom. Tanner was bawling for no reason at all, he was just hot.

After kids went to bed at Grandma's house, Mike and I got to go back and enjoy some gyros and an amazing Funk/Jazz performance at the Volksplatz venue. We wanted to walk over to the Indie Rock tent, but our selection turned out to be fantastic! The show was by Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue. It was packed, and so humid outside!! This band is from New Orleans (love them already,Jen?!)

I didnt take pictures, but I found a video of the performance online. Go here and fast forward to 4:30 and you will get a good taste of the feel of the show. This was a great number, WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN was great too!



Mike and I were just to the right of the camera and in the middle. It was awesome!
If you are one of our Pennsylvania peeps, you may want to drive up there for the shows this weekend. You wont regret it! Bethlehem is a cool town, with tons of history (Moravians settled here and built a college MORAVIAN COLLEGE, Americas 6th oldest college). Go and enjoy, we did!
