Concert in the Quarter



Yesterday we went with a friend from the playgroup to a kids concert in the Quarter. It was held at the New Orleans Jazz National Historic Park which is the only national park dedicated to an art form and within walking distance to the house. When we first arrived two of the park rangers were on stage finishing their set. We only caught the last two songs but learned later that they had played songs tracing the history of jazz which I have to say sounds like the best park ranger job in the world.
Soon Johnette Downing came on which is who we were there to see. She played lots of great kids music and both Chance and Lilly had a wonderful time singing along, dancing and playing drums. In the first picture they are looking at the book "There was an old woman who swallowed a fly" while we all sang along. In the second picture they are getting ready to jump along to the song every time we said the word 'jump'. They are having this concert series in December and then all next year too so I think we will be going back.
