First (not so great) Concert

Last Friday night we gathered up the kiddos and headed out over the hill to one of the county's free summer concerts. It happened to be the "Hometown Music Fest" that evening and we were particularly interested in hearing a local band called Lohio. We knew there was a chance of NOT hearing them since we didn't know the exact line-up of bands, but it was free and a nice evening, so WHY NOT?

So over the hill we went and settled in.

We packed some food and drinks, and Matt and Rachel (or Match and Rachel as the kids were calling them) joined us with more food!

We had fed the kids some before we left, but apparently we didn't need to. I've never seen these two chow down like they did on Friday night! They ate chicken, watermelon, pretzels, biscuits...you name it. It was pretty funny; they just kept going back for more!



And then they ran. A lot. Up and down. Left and right. Around and around. And we went potty. We always have to go potty. Gillian has a severe case of "I've gotta use every public restroom." Oh, and we visited the ambulance and police car. Good thing the music was less than stellar because we couldn't have enjoyed it anyway!

Gillian did manage to slow down long enough to get Daddy to dance with her! Colin helped me take these pictures too!


Isn't that lighting ridiculous? So pretty!

Anyway, we stayed way past Kid Bedtime and the music was not good, so home we went without hearing Lohio. But, the kids had fun, although Colin did tell us "That too loud for me," several times! We are hoping to catch one or two more concerts this summer with the kids, hopefully they will be First (Good) Concert material!
