LIFMF 2012

Wow. I cannot believe that the Lake Itasca Family Music Festival is OVER already! It's definitely one of the highlights of the entire year for us, and this year was no exception. It's the 7th straight year that we've attended, and I wouldn't miss it for the world! If you were there, what was your favorite band this year?

Triple L Band (my favorite!)

 Johnson Family Strings

 The Alzen Family practicing for their performance on the showcase stage

My good friends Maria, Anna and Lydia U. playing on the showcase stage

 

Yes, I'll admit it . . . I went to the Wissmann's kid's program (in my defense, there were a lot of other adults there too!). Every time I go there, I laugh so hard my stomach hurts!! :-) The Wissmann Family was also one of the main-stage bands this year.

It was so much fun to see friends that I hadn't seen since last year! Amy Vest was one of them - it was GREAT to see you Amy! :-)

 

Teresa, Sara, me, Amy, Deborah, Anna

Triple L Band (from New Mexico) played at night . . . yes, they're wearing their winter jackets. The Alaska String Band was just up there previously playing in short sleeves! lol :-) Seriously, it was cold though - I had a jacket and two blankets and was still freezing!

 

The "band kids" jamming late Saturday night

The Sunday morning hymn sing is always nice, especially because there are so many musical people at the festival!
