Jazz Fest: A Study in Contrasts

This weekend we drove to Indianapolis to see Medeski, Martin and Wood at the Indy Jazz Fest. The car trip was marked by the traditional viewing of Rescue Heroes: The Movie (it never, EVER gets old!) and torrential downpours. As the Jazz Fest is an outdoor event, this did not bode well. Arriving in Indy, we hemmed and hawed before finally deciding to take our chances with the rain and head to the concert. Miraculously, the weather held and we remained dry but mud-splattered. I'd love to say a good time was had by all, but it turns out that Cameron is not a fan of sitting in a muddy field listening to weird music. He's so subtle, though, I'm sure the people around us had NO idea that he wasn't TOTALLY into MM&W.
Matthew, on the other hand, was unabashedly enthusiastic and hands down the best dancer there.

Is this what the future holds for us with two kids? If one is happy, the other must be seething in anger? If one is cooperative, the other must be completely noncompliant? Ahhh, the joys of parenting.
