The longest post I've ever done!

Me and lil' sis Murren.Above:My hand/Fiddle.
Below:all of the following are pictures from MooGrass, which is a festival in Tillamook.
Above: Luke/banjo,Ellie/fiddle(my arch rival),Clyde/mandolin,Nickie/bass,not sure about the other two.

Cassie/fiddle,Paul/guitar,and don't ask who the others are.

Mason here is like a second grandpa, he goes to most of the festivals we go to and never gets away without a hug. He was the MC for the festival.
I must say this was a thrilling experience, Dewgrass (that's the name of their band) allowed me to play a couple songs on stage with them! Ever since I met Jake and Luke I've looked up (and down) to them.

This was during an awesome jam session. Starting from right to left,Emily/guitar, Jamin/bouzouki, Monique/fiddle (you can just barley see her bow),Erin/bass,Greg/guitar(in Grey ball cap),? /guitar, Nick/mando, Luke/banjo,ME/fiddle,Jake/guitar,?,?,Katie (pink T shirt) mando,Ellie/fiddle (my arch rival), and Collin /mandolin.

Well, Nick brought some Oreo cookies and Jake here decided to load up.
well this was the last day of the festival, and as a tradition all performers who are left get to play on stage together.

This is the day after the last day of the festival, starting from left to right, top to bottom:Sara, Emily,Nick,Me,Jamin,Jake,Kaiti,Cassie,Anna,Collin, Luke,Mailee,Murren,Iona,AND everybody's little favorite William(AKA tug boat).
