Today we went to Satchmo Summerfest. This music festival takes place just a block and a half from our house, with four stages and lots of food. It started yesterday with seminars and runs today and tomorrow with music and other festivities. We were going to go out midday after Chance;'s first nap but it was so hot I decided to wait till after his second nap and I am glad we did because then it was just right. The stages are all on the grounds of the Old US Mint building and we were able to get a wonderful spot on the grass in the shade of the building. We were just a few rows back from the stage and Chance loved every moment. He watched all the people and smiled at everyone. We listened to the Rebirth Jazz Band (second picture) and Soul Rebels both of which are very good. Yesterday I mentioned that Chance recognizes
Scott's ring on my cell phone. Well, today when were listening to the bands, Chance was looking around but he didn't seem to love it or hate it at that point but then they started playing
When The Saints go Marching in which is Scott's ring and Chance looked up and smiled and started bouncing up and down. He definately recognised the song. That really cool, seeing him make those connections. We stayed for almost two hours all of which Chance played and talked to people or we danced and clapped along with the music. He sat on my lap or his little blanket and generally
had a good time. He may have gotten a little tired at the end as you can see in this last picture either that or he was telling me what he really thought of that last song.
