French Quarter Fest Day 2

Playing catch up again, sorry about that but here we go...
The second day of French Quarter fest was pretty awesome, Scott was able to come with us so we spent the whole day together as a family seeing some great bands and just having fun. The day started at the US Mint where there were two stages and the closest ones to our house.


We all sat on the grass right in front of the stage. Chance was in the groove today and just laid down on the ground and put his head on my lap to listen to the music. We had never heard the band before but they were pretty good and a great start to the day.


After that we walked all around the place. Down the riverwalk and past a few other stages just enjoying the festival. After grabbing some nachos at a really tasty little Mexican restaurant we stopped to listen for a while at another stage and found a another great local band we had never heard before but which we all really liked. These two pictures are Scott and Chance hanging out listening to John Lisi and the Delta Funk.


The one performer (Alex McMurray) we had been looking forward to seeing all day didn't start till 5:30pm but we were still out and about so we found ourselves a spot right by the stage and had a seat. Chance had been having fun all day (you can tell by how dirty his face is in the picture below) so after a couple songs he crawled up in my lap, lay down and went to sleep. The show was very good however and well worth the wait. After the show Chance woke up, the little nap having given him the energy to walk all the way back to the house.
