Hardly Strictly Bluegrass

We went to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival this year again. It is a bluegrass festival that is held for free at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Thousands of people attend it for it is very popular here; the whole thing is privately funded by Warren Hellman. There are five big stages and also many independent musicians playing all over the park This year had a great lineup for Sunday, but we knew it would be too crowded for us so we went on Saturday. It was fun to rent the car for the weekend and drive into San Francisco. Aoife behaved very well in the car and I didn't have to sit in the back with her which is nice for me.
We decided to stay at the porch stage for the whole time because of it's small and there were a few other babies there. Aoife seemed to really enjoy the whole atmosphere. She loved watching the people walk around, and her favorite was to watch a dog who was sitting in front of us. We gave Aoife a little tambourine to play while she was listening to the music. All the people were laughing at the sight of her playing her tambourine while she kept a serious concentrated expression on her face.
