Etta's hat was adorable, but didn't last long on Ian

Siesta time for Pax & Ian

The Avett Brothers closed out the festival Sunday afternoon
We returned late last night from a great weekend at Merlefest. This year there were around 15 of us that camped together & about 6 kids under 5 running around, and it was a lot of fun for all of us. We drove up Friday morning & spent Saturday & Sunday at the festival. The kids were troopers, as it was 80+ both days. Needless to say, they all fell fast asleep each night. Filson napped for over 4 straight hours this afternoon, so he really had some catching up to do! John & I are wishing we could get in a nap like that!
