Last weekend was all about the music! Friday night there was an impromptu jam session at our friends Jen & Bobby's before their wedding on Sunday. Jen & Bobby have a band - Jennifer Hill & Co - and Jen was recently voted best new female artist in Connecticut!

So, musician friends have musician friends....and next thing ya know, the amps and mics are outside and we're rockin out!

Loud music = ear protection for the Trippster!

He's so good - never tried to tear the headphones off and danced until he passed out
Tripp couldn't resist, he HAD to jam too!
When he wasn't jamming, he was sharing high fives with everyone between musical rants

When Bob got a turn, Tripp was quick to sit on Dada's lap and beat on the drums - looks like we have a future musician on our hands!



On Saturday we went to the Woodstock Art & Country Fair to see our friend Kristin and her acapalla group, Red No. 5, perform

Tripp listening intently

Red No. 5

They sang Tripp's favorite - "Crayola" - and dedicated it to him!

An autographed CD!

The Ladies gave Tripp a private serenade of "If your Happy and ya know it...."

To wrap it up, on Sunday, we went to Jen & Bobby's wedding at Rocky Neck State Park.

He's such a ladies man

Right about now is when Tripp yelled "WOW! Pretty!"

Jen's daughter, Scarlet (8), was included in the ceremony too.

Bobby also pledged his love to her - so sweet!

Mr & Mrs. Schwecherl

Tripp made time for ALL the ladies - here he is chatting it up with baby Sarah

Nascar

The Big E!

This past weekend, Grands Capano came to visit and we all went to the Big E!
Yummy - Fair food!

Future NASCAR lover?
"I just wanna go fast!"

Arkansas Bob is rubbing off on the New Yorkers - we all got cowboy hats! Yee-Haw!

The Big E is an agricultural fair

The guys plot our course

Guys & Gars

Tripp loves caramel apples - w/ sprinkles!

Pa-Ray!

Showing off his Mardi-Gra Parade loot

Even the police get into the spirit of things.

Love those Mickey Mouse gloves!

It was a long, fun filled day.

My tuckered out men

Don't worry about the eye patch - he's okay. Tripp has a weak eye, we were lovingly calling it his "stink eye". It ends up he has a common childhood ailment called Strabismus ( a weak tendent in his eye that allows it to wander when he becomes tired - and gives him double vision.)

He is going to wear an eye patch for 2 - 4 hours a day for the next 2 months to strengthen his eye. He is doing great and doesn't seem to mind the patch at all - we call it "Pirate Time!"

Tripp sporting his pirate patch & booty. The guys went golfing and Mom & I went shopping.

At the mall we hung out at the playscape - a popular kiddie hang out.

And then we treated ourselves to some Friendly's for lunch.

No highchair for Tripp, he gets a booster seat!
