This weekend we all packed into the car early Saturday and drove to Wisconsin where our friend Chuck was playing for a barn dance a little south of Madison. Here is a view of the front of the barn where he played. It was a beautiful space and clear that a lot of care had gone into restoring it.
Paul and Lena listening to music at her first barn dance. She did dance one waltz with us but we decided to hold off on the square dances until she has a bit more neck control!
Our friends tuning up (Chuck on fiddle in the center, Dave on guitar on the right, Peter on mandolin on the far left, and another fiddling friend of Chuck's to his left).
Here is a view of the barn complete with caller and dancers (the cows were patiently waiting outside).
Here is Lena earlier in the day in her car seat. This weekend was the first time that we've noticed her being aware of herself in the car seat mirror. Morgan noticed that Lena would start staring at herself when she would yawn but that posed a challenge because she couldn't yawn and keep her eyes open at the same time! We drove up to Madison early Saturday morning which allowed us to get to the farmer's market where we saw our friends Ben & Crystal and spent a few hours shopping for various delights such as "orange warty" squash, fennel and celeriac and Paul and Chuck had a chance to play some music on the main square.
Here is a view out the window en route to Madison. Beautiful balmy fall weather all weekend long.
