Jazz Fest!

After several years away, we finally made it back to New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival!  It was truly wonderful to be back to enjoy friends, great food, and a huge variety and quantity of music.  As usual, there were many food and music highlights.  The headliner for the day was Stevie Wonder.  Unfortunately, furious thunderstorms and cranky kids forced us to leave before his set.

Nora and Henry really seemed to love Jazz Fest.  Both of them were smiling, dancing (Henry only sorta), and stuffing their faces (Nora recommends the Crawfish Monica.  Henry liked his Gerber Veggie Puffs).

But man, oh, man is Jazz Fest different with little ones.  For the adults, there's a lot less drinking and being silly, and a lot more work.  Look at the picture of Linda and the stroller below. 

Henry had plenty of time to bond with our good friend, Robert.  And he even found a great new cuddly toy to chew on!

And Nora had a blast in the Jazz Fest kids' play area (Huh? There's a play area?)

Finally, a picture of some Mommy and son bonding time.
