Joe's early birthday present to Suz.
Heavy rain pouring down, crazy flooding, lightening crashing all around...are we going to waive the white flag and head back to safety???
HECK NO! Molly and I purchased these awesome rain boots at Academy...best $12 I've ever spent in my life!
Party on, dudes...
Found a covered area to wait out the lightening storm...it was so crazy...but we were DETERMINED to have fun!
Me and my sweetie fell in love over our passion for Dave Matthew's music! The last time we saw him perform live was 3-4 years ago....waaaaaay too long for us!
Molly and Katie trying to stay as dry as possible
"Here Comes the Sun (du du du du)" Joe and Sheedy--excited about the rain easing up for 2 seconds...looks promising!
One more picture and then we headed into the MUD-tastic venue for the show! (Oh yah--did I mention it was outside on a HUGE grassy hill? SWEETNESS!)
We had such a great time! The rain held off until the very end, when it began to POUR DOWN again...but it was so much fun and worth every article of cold, damp clothing sticking to my body! Thanks to Grandma Kate for watching all 4 quads by herself! (which is NO small feat!) One of the best birthday presents ever!
AWESOMENESS!!! Looks like ya'll had a blast. I'll be doing the same thing today, except I'll be watching Kenny Chesney. He'll be here in Houston at the Woodlands Pavillion (also outside, and a grassy hill will be involved!) It's supposed to rain, so it should make for some fun muddy excitement. There will definitely be some alcoholic beverages involved.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Sounds like an awesome night!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Sometime the most fun is when things are not perfect!
ReplyDeleteWoo! Dave is my FAVORITE! I actually just saw him in Birmingham on 4/20. He was amazing...that was about the same play list we had as well! I have video of it on my blog. I love your blog...been lurking for a while...your kids are precious!

ReplyDeleteKelly in MS
I LOVE LOVE LOVE DAVE TOO! he is coming next month and you bet your bottom dollar we have tickets! and will be sitting on the lawn as well! rain or shine...i will drag hubby there! ive been going to dave concerts every year since about 2000. matt is a fan by default...i HAVE to go to the concert, so i make him go too! and we both always have a great time! last year, the concert was at Busch stadium (where my beloved st.louis cardinals play)...that was cool! looks like you guys had a great time!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteSuz- how do you "strike-through" one of your words in the title, or in a post? I can't figure it out!
ReplyDeletetoo funny...my hubby and i are the same. in fact that was my first present to him when we were dating...tickets to DMB. glad you guys got out and had fun.
ReplyDeleteI knew ya'll had to be Dave fans! Youre just too cool not to be:) I swear, DMB has the most loyal fans EVER! I'm from Indiana and we go every year to see them at an outside venue similar to what you described. I stood in a thunderstorm/monsoon (HA!) a few years ago...although it wasn't ideal weather, we wouldn't have missed it for the world. LOVE me some Dave!! Glad you had a rockin' time.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and Happy Birthday - mine was last week and my hubby bought us Cold Play tickets in August - which is outside and we have lawn tickets.. I will think to pack my rain gear j.u.s.t in case now...
ReplyDeleteBarbi
How fun...so proud you got to do this!!! Loved the boots!
ReplyDelete:) He did put on a good show! I was there and SO excited he played my FAVORITE song--Grey Street! That was my 14th show and maybe one of the best yet! Glad y'all got a night out!
ReplyDeleteWay to make lemonade out of big, sloshy, wet lemons . I guess sometimes it's more fun to get down and dirty in boots and ponchos, as evidenced by the pics!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great birthday, mama!
Love ya!
Moni
