This Past Weekend

Thanks to Meme & Poppi - Jerry & I had a wonderful weekend of sleeping late and spending time with each other. Friday night we went to the Kevin Fowler concert. Great concert but we disappointed in the people. I really don't see the need to serve alcohol at a Junior Live Stock Show event - isn't suppose to be for the kids? As the concert started the crowd got squished toward the stage as usual - but with the alcohol and the bumping fights started breaking out. Jerry stepped in front of me as a shoving match started right in front of us. You had to be careful when you walked around - people were constantly getting burned by bumping into other peoples cigarettes. Jerry had to move me out of the way once again, because the college kid next to us - who could hardly stand up-looked like he was about to puke. The clothing choices of some of these girls and women were just....one little family walked in front of as we sat in the stands for the opening bands - dad and son were in there finest cowboy attire - then here came mom. I made sure that my husband wasn't looking at this 40+ woman wearing a white see thru blouse and NO BRA!!! Her son must be so proud. We left before the encore - the police were coming to break up another fight. We wanted out of there before those people got into their cars. As we walked to the parking lot - we saw two young son's helping their very drunk father not so much walk but just remain up right. I heard that there is going to be a beer garden at the Live Stock Show as well... Again, Isn't this suppose to be for the kids? The great music was definitely ruined by the atmosphere. We came to conclusion - we are just to old for this kind of fun.
The next night we went to the Harbor Playhouse to see I Hate Hamlet - very funny. We truly had a great week end of quality time together. We were able to get past just talking about the kids and spit up and poopy diapers and yucky noses and, and, and... then just talked like we used to-before kids. Jenny and Keith & Jeremy and Aimee you'll soon understand.

  1. and meme and papi had a great time with the kids. I believe what my daughter said was "the baby is fine but little Jerry has the stink of spoiling grandparents." Your father and I just smiled and said "Heather just confirmed ... a job well done."
    :O)

  2. Our little man is having a rough time. Not only did he miss school for two weeks due to flu and chicken pox. His bestest friend in the whole world, Julian, is now a day care drop out and is staying home with his mom. Poor little Jerry ... his Dada will be out of town all this week too. So maybe we want to drop the little guy some mail he would enjoy that. If anyone needs his address you can call his meme. and hey MOM ... WE ARE WAITING TO SEE FLU-BIRTHDAY PICS.
    WE REALLY LOVE THE 4MCQUEENS!
