Concert time!  This was a fun one.  Fun music, costumes, and they let the kids come!  It was crazy, but we brought the girls.  Tim and Suzanne were there to help, so it was three against two.  Both of them did remarkable well.  Ashley’s favorite part of the concert was the clapping.  She would yell and clap in approval for the great music.  Kevin was also there with some friends, and we ran into Shawn and Amy and their girls there as well.   The place was sold out both nights as well.  It’s fun to have such good support for the orchestra.

This was at intermission.  Cookie and Alpine water break.

Kathryn made the parrot costume a while ago.  This picture was taken before we were actually dating.  It was one of our very first things we did together.  Such a fun time to remember!

The concert that we went to was Saturday night.  That left me with Thursday rehearsal and Friday night concert to fend for myself and the two girls.  It wasn’t easy, but we made it.  Thursday we stayed home the whole night and that was rough.  We barely made it out alive.  So on Friday night, we drove up to Alpine with Kathryn and dropped her off for the pre concert rehearsal.  We then had some time to kill so we drove around up to the top of the Point of the Mountain ridge where those really high up houses are.  It was really pretty up there, but I don’t think I’d like living up there.  It was cold and windy!  I imagine it’s pretty harsh up there in the winter too.  We made it back down the hill and Kathryn was able to fill up Eliza before her concert started.  We said our goodbyes and good-lucks and headed home.  That made the night way better than the home alone all evening we had on Thursday.

Another victory, we made it back up Hobble Creek canyon for another campfire cookout.  This time we made foil dinners.  It’s been great to be able to get out with the family and do something fun together.

Kathryn’s next concert is coming up.  They’ll be playing with Jenny Oaks Baker.
