Cynthia Kinnunen blogs about sharing stuff from your childhood with your kids
Some of you may know that back in April was Record Store Day. While it doesn’t reach holiday status in this household, it certainly offers a reminder of the beauty of spending a lazy hour or two perusing some old and new releases in the wonderful vinyl format. For me personally, it’s a great excuse to get down to my local independent record shop and pick up an album. Or two. (maybe more, don’t tell my husband)
This past Record Store Day was a rainy one and the kids were going mental being stuck inside with us boring parents. I figured it was good timing to steal one of them away for a “quick” trip to a local record store. I decided to bring Suvi with me. I mean, she’s almost nine and hasn’t experienced the distinct beauty of a rare vinyl discovery yet. Of course, she’s had LP exposure since her earliest days. (Yes, she’s holding Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies courtesy of her Grandpa… don’t ask.)
