Lemme Live festival
At the start of the summer, the local scouts organise a small festival at their scouts field Lemmekensveld in our neighbourhood. Before our children were active in the scouts we ignored the day of sound in our neighbourhood, but since a few years we embrace the festival.
Due to the construction of new buildings, there was no big main stage. Instead they had installed a more intimate "living room" stage in a corner of the terrain while the 2 corners amidst the trees are still reserved for DJ sets. The remaining main field was taken by foodstands. I think they still could have put a big stage there, but hey...who am I. Result was that I was mostly on the field and mist most of the musicians. Oh well.

The Dub stage with good LOUD reggae rhythms and a big speaker wall.
The other dj corner in between sets at a quiet moment. They used remainders of the old building as staging. Fun.
The crowd at the living room stage where singer-songwriters could perform
Kabouter had signed up for 4 hours of shifts with some jong-giver friends and also Jan had signed up for a few hours of bar duty. I was totally exhausted and had carefully skipped volunteering to just allow me to hang and chill.
Beertje as a cub wasn't supposed to help yet, but he was quickly bored as none of his friends had come, so he quickly joined Kabouter in collecting, washing and redistributing cups at the different bar corners.
So I ended up chilling totally on my own, which was good as I was fighting fatigue.
The boys had the time of their life helping and even after 4 hours of washing cups, they simply continued as there were no real volunteers for the last hours. I called it a day and returned home to climb in my bed while Jan waited until the end with the boys. Who would have imagined they cannot stop with washing dishes? That surely doesn't happen at home :)
