On Saturday, we took Miles to his first (of many) folk festivals. My parents joined up and it is a good thing too. My dad, the ever prepared boy scout, brought everything, including a giant beach umbrella to create shade for Miles. This turned out to be a better decision than we even imagined as the clouds began to grow dark and then the skies opened up and dumped rain upon us. As we had a large amount of things to bring back to the car, we didn't really want to leave the cover of the umbrella to make a run for the car so we stuck it out there. When the rain lightened up, my dad and I went to buy some warmer clothes as none of us (except Miles) were prepared for the incredible cold weather that the rain brought with it.
I think that Miles enjoyed the festival. The music was probably lost on him this year, I think that he just enjoyed being held constantly for the ENTIRE day. Don't let the couple of open eye pictures fool you, he slept almost the entire time.
Here are Noni and Miles enjoying the festival before the rains came.
Then, hanging out with Grandpa under the umbrella before the rains came.
Daddy making creepy faces at the camera..typical.
And more creepy faces. Like I said, typical.
And finally a smile. Look, Miles is shocked too.
How cute is that?
And Miles snuggling with his dad in the freezing cold weather. When I went to buy clothes I found a little Michigan State hat to keep his head warm since I didn't think to bring a winter hat for him in August (what was a thinking?).
Miles was made famous at the festival too. When my dad and I were buying clothes a festival voluteer drove by Ryan and my mom and Miles hanging out under the umbrella as the rain picked up again and asked if they needed anything. Seeing tiny little Miles he promised to come back with a warm fleece blanket for him (which he did). We found out from some friends that the same guy was announcing at another stage and thanking people for staying despite the weather and he made a comment about a die hard 6 week old toughing out the rain under an umbrella at the Valley Court Stage. His first festival and he is already a die hard music lover. :o)

OK< he's got his first music event under his belt. Is this a sign? I wonder if he is going to follow in Mommy or Daddy's footsteps and with sing like a bird or toot like Louie. He doesn't look too interested in his Dad's antics though-a good nap must have sounded better. Good thing I have Ryan's marching shoes yet although they must stink to high heck by now! Oma
The other nite Pop and I were babysitting and Miles fussed so I asked him if he wanted me to take Miles for a while and you what he said? NO- get away! Can you believe it? Grandpa's little buddy! Oma
