Sacramento Jazz Jubilee

Well, yesterday we couldn't go to church and infect all the other children there, so we took our family to the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. This is a big annual event in Sacramento every Memorial Day weekend, and something that we have never been to. This year they even had the Count Basie Orchestra play, which I would have LOVED to see. It's not really up Steve's alley, but it's definitely up mine. We spent some time listening at some of the free venues, which were primarily high school and college groups. This was a fun throw back for me to my band geek days and playing Dixieland music. In fact, two of the groups played songs that I played "back in the day". Molly loved hearing all the music and enjoyed dancing to the upbeat tunes. The babies found it a little loud so we had to move and listen from afar, but even they enjoyed people watching.


Although Molly enjoyed the tunes, I think she enjoyed her first ice cream cone so much more. There's something special about being able to lick ice cream out of a cone. And we couldn't help but laugh at how she savored every single bite!
