Bird Fest

If you don’t go, you’re missing out. Plain and simple.

Seven years ago Aaron and I started going to a little blue grass festival that a friends’ family hosts on their farm.  We went from taking just ourselves and a cooler of beer to toting our family of four, a full picnic lunch, toys, bug spray, a diaper bag and stroller, a few friends and an even bigger cooler of beer{with plenty of room for juice boxes of course!}!

We had so much fun!

Checking out the animals on the farm {it’s a hunting farm, hence the beagles}… Relaxing on the blanket…Meeting Bird {who is actually the family mule that the Festival is named after}. Can you tell is is “no longer with us” and is actually stuffed and brought out to the stage each year for Bird Fest?!?!?Baby Boy enjoyed spending most of the day with Aunt Boo…We hung out with friends and some Bird Fest first-timers!We also got to visit some friends that live far far away!We had one little not-so-fun incident where some “big girls” were not letting Emory play with them, but a lollipop cheered her right up.     For some, the highlight of the day was meeting Mr. Bill Murray, who now attends Bird Fest every year. {I was not the photographer for these pictures, which is why they are blurry!} Baby Boy got his picture taken with Bill… But wasn’t lovin’ it!      And while Justin had a few attempts at getting a good picture {again, someone else was trying to use my camera, and the pictures didn’t come out}, here’s proof that he did indeed attend Bird Fest with Mr. Murray!

After a long, but fun-filled day, we were all a little beat. But we look forward to next year already!
