5:24 am July 6, 2009Happy
This was the best picture out of the bunch. And by “best” I mean Jachin had his eyes open, his pizza was hidden, Deacon wasn’t crying, and Zoe wasn’t making a goofy face.
In other words, not like these:
This year for the 4th of July we went to Stadium of Fire. (Being that we also went last year, you could almost say it’s a tradition… but it isn’t really. They just happened to have two headlining acts two years in a row that weren’t country… or members of the Osmond family.) This year the top act was the OMGI’mtotallyswooningtheyaresototallydreamyJonasBrothers. Yes, I sang along. Yes, I knew most of the words to most of the songs. Yes, I said that we were going because Zoe loves them. No, Zoe doesn’t know most of the words to most of the songs.
/sigh I’m a dork.
We ended up with 4 extra tickets, so we let each of the kids invite a friend, and then we also took along my grandma and her sister… giving us one of the most hilarious pictures I’ve seen this calendar year:
This is what two women in their 70′s partying at a Jonas Brother’s concert looks like. We got both crazy chicks to wear glow sticks, but that was mostly so we wouldn’t lose sight of them as we were finding our way back to the car. My grandma (bless her sweet heart) spent most of the evening looking over to see if Deacon seemed bothered by the loudness of the festivities. She kept giving me the “oh, that poor child’s ears” look. But we had it covered:
He kept in the earplugs for a while, but ended up pulling them out and throwing them on the ground.
I took lots of video of the Jonas Brothers, but I can’t show any of it to you. I realized after watching them that I am singing loudly and terribly in the background of all of them. Seriously. But I did take some video of the fire dancers that were part of the Stadium of Fire show. The following video shows that fire dancing has a sleepy, hypnotic effect on children. Only Zoe wasn’t affected by the dazzling juju.
Also, Zoe took some amazingly sweet video of me trying to Ripstick before we left for the stadium. Also in this video: Deacon smiles, Jon sings “Wiggle It”, and Jachin’s friend eats a hotdog. It’s footage not to be missed.
Hope your 4th was fabulous!
