Hootenanny

Marty's first "Hootenanny" went extremely well. We were all quite nervous that about 150 people were going to show up and try to squeeze into our side yard. Thankfully, there were only a bit over 100 and everyone seemed to fit just fine.
It was an amazing evening of live acoustic music and good food. Unfortunately, none of my photos or videos really does it justice.
Marty and Jodi broadcast from the top of Josie's play set. They had each artist come up to be interviewed then each person left by sliding down the slide.
Here is Leroy Bell in the swing set fort.

Josie in her own world on the swing

Josie had fun with Emma Rose and Allysa. They are both 11 and were good friends to Josie and took good care of her that night.

The view from the deck - VIP seating. Thankfully, there were a lot of people who wanted to hold Benjamin.

Notice - Benjamin being held by friend, Jeanne and Josie being pushed on the swing. I guess Hootenanny means built in babysitters :)
