2 Concerts in 1 Week!

Lucy has gotten to do so many fun things lately. I love how she is at an age where we feel like we can do fun things and bring her along with us. Until recently, I said that we could not do a lot of things because I didn't think that she could handle staying up late or the crowds or whatever and I didn't want to leave her with a babysitter. But now, she has proven many times that she actually loves to come along on our outings and it is a blast to experience these things with her. So, this Saturday we took her to the Kenny Chesney concert. Justin knows a lot of people involved with this tour, so we got the royal treatment. I will admit it is a lot easier to take a little one along when you aren't fighting the crowds, lines, small seats, etc. Lucy got to see Leann Rimes, Brooks and Dunn, and Kenny Chesney perform. For those of you who are not country music fans, I totally understand. There are A LOT of ridiculous country songs, I definitely know this. But the Kenny Chesney tour is one of the largest tours in the US and it is quite a show to see. It was a blast. I think anyone would have a great time there, even if only for the people watching. We saw some pretty interesting things. Lucy loved it. She danced and ate and ran wild. She was seriously the center of attention the entire day. I bet she got told a million times how adorable she was and how everyone loved her outfit - totally appropriate concert wear of her AC/DC tee and True Religions.

A few comments we got that were too funny not to share. There is just nothing like country music fans.

First, a girl in a way too short denim skirt, cowboy boots, and a Marlboro red in her hand asked what Lucy's name was. When we said Lucy, she replied with, "Oh man, we love Lucy. Hell, we got us a Demi Marie." In my head, I am thinking - you named your poor child Demi Marie? Yikes. And did you really just say "we got us a"? Justin and I both laughed about this for about 30 minutes. I am still laughing.

Second, this one girl would not stop telling me how adorable Lucy was. It was getting obnoxious. Justin had taken Lucy to get a snack and she says, "I mean seriously, your daughter is so f@^*ing cute. And the fact that she is so f*&!ing chill makes her like a million times cooler." Did you just curse at me about how cute my child is? Twice? Thank goodness Lucy was not still standing there with me. This girl had had a few drinks, in case you didn't guess that.

And finally, my favorite of the day was a woman in a Nascar t-shirt dancing erotically for her husband the entire concert. She was right up front and she was really feeling it. I didn't take a picture because I was scared she would eat me if she saw me do it, but just imagine what you think a Nascar fan might look like and that was her. It was awesome.

Again, the things you witness and hear at a big ole country concert are AWESOME!

This is A LOT of pictures. They are from all weekend.





We went down right in front of the stage to watch Leann Rimes. I promise, Lucy had in ear plugs the entire time.

We watched the rest of the shows from backstage. Lucy was waving to the crowd like she was the performer. It was so funny. I love this picture.

These are just some cute ones from Friday.




This is right in our backyard. I check on the eggs everyday.


After church today.








In my next post, I am going to try and answer some questions I have gotten recently in the comments. I get really behind on this, but am going to work on it next time. So, if you have a question, now is the time to ask.
