FestBlog 2009 (Day 5)

We had a full day today at Musikfest. We headed down to Banana Island (the kid's stage) around noon to see Kira Willey play. She's a local musician, who also teaches kid yoga at The Yoga Loft on the southside of Bethlehem (where Kathleen does yoga when she's not pregnant). But, she's best known for her song "Colors", which was featured in a Dell laptop commercial within the last year (you'd recognize it if you heard it). There were a few groups of summer camp kids there, who all knew their yoga positions: they did surfer pose, tree pose, mountain pose, plus volcano, which isn't quite a pose - more of an action. They were all having a blast! It was nice to see some boys having a great time. Hopefully, Owen will be able to enjoy something like kids yoga one day.

Later in the day, we went to see our future babysitter Hannah dance with the Parker Irish Dancers. It was a great show! Phil works with Hannah's mom and we've known Hannah for a few years and have been watching her dance at Celtic Fest and Musikfest. She's now a senior Irish dancer - and also a freshman in high school. And that means that we'll at least have her for babysitting for about four years! Her mom says that she's excited about sitting. She said that Hannah often plans activities for the kids she babysits! That sounds great!

We also caught an hour of another Lovell Sisters concert later in the evening. They really are a great band! They finished up with an acapella version of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" as an encore.
