Concert Time!!

Once again concert season has rolled around. Ray and I skipped out on it last year but thought we'd try it this year. We received tickets to a nice outdoor amphitheatre as a wedding present and love returning there. It's just outside Chicago so there's not the headache of dealing with all of the traffic. It also gives Ray and I a chance to have an evening to ourselves. That's a rare opportunity for us.
Saturday night was the 1st concert of the season. Julianne Hough and Blake Shelton opened for George Strait. We were actually able to get there before Julianne started. We normally arrive shortly after the first person starts. When we purchased the tickets we didn't realize how close the seats really were. They are fantastic seats - Row W - 23 rows from the front. It was a good concert to say the least!!

Blake Shelton again. We didn't realize how tall he was.

The man of the show Mr. George Strait.

Warm weather + playing outside = happy mommy

As you can tell by the title, the weather has been wonderful the past few days. This gives me a chance to take the kids outside and run off some energy. This is much needed.
Yesterday we got out the gator and took turns driving around the backyard. Mr. T was so excited to drive.

He's still working on his steering ability. Notice he's heading towards the bushes and flowers.

The gator is stopped and sister has run away. She wants to make it known that she didn't run over the bush. I wasn't able to get a good picture of her screaming and yelling about how Trevor ran over the bush and daddy isn't going to be happy when he gets home.

He's checking out that bush he has now ran over - making sure it's still there.

I think the look says it all. Oops!

The gator is back out of the bush and he's ready to drive again. I happy to say the bush is okay too. :)

Miss G and her caterpillar. She loves watching them crawl over her hands.

She found about a dozen yesterday morning. They are temporarily in a container but won't be staying much longer.

He's hiding under the slide waiting for sister to come by on the gator. He's planning on scaring her.

Still waiting on sister.

Starting to get a little impatient with her. She's taking too long. He did manage to scare her and it was pretty good too. What a little boy!!
