He begged, and begged....

For tickets to see this concert.

It was an hour away, and a few days after school started, in the middle of the week!

Ok, so maybe "good" parents wouldnt let him go...But we did!

It was great, We All loved it.

This is Sanctus Real

Ad's Favorite band.

So yes that is a trailer as a backdrop for the stage.

But check out the next picture.

Do you see the rainbow?

Soo cool

So I have to explain...

That first picture.

The band was late, they had a sick guitar player at home,

then their flight got delayed (on their layover,I think)

So they mixed up the lineup, and stepped off the bus to play. they hadnt eaten, so after they played they stuck around until Brandon heath started to play and went to eat.

We were told they would be back to meet & greet.

So we waited for the whole convert to end, and waited some more.

Finally we decided Ad. was not going to get to meet his fav. band.

:(

So we got in the car for our hour long drive home super late in the dark.

As we were driving out of the small town where the concert was there was a large white van at the perkins....

I made Tony pull over and make an oh soo illegal U turn into the driveway.

The guys from the band had just finish eating, and were walking out.

We nabbed them and got a few pictures with.

Minus the lead singer who was at the hotel resting.

Sooo cool!

They were in San Antioni, I want to say the 26th (ithink and austin the 27)

We encouraged them to stop and enjoy Schlitterbahn while they were there.

So call us stalkers...

But the boy got to meet his favorite band.

What a great experience,

What a wonderful memory!

I can handle being called a stalker for that!

Hiking Logan Pass

After a long theatrical drama

about how her legs were not going to work anymore

we saw a small waterfall and convinced her to keek walking,

She was so happy to make it this far and begged to go further.

This was a little further.

How many do you see?

There are 9.

More nature

On our hike
A tree that had fallen over

I was hanging over, holding onto the tree,

This is the top part of the gorge.

Most deaths at Glacier NP are caused by falls.

ok so the camera was hanging over, not me!

I am chicken! hear me bokbok!

Much better here not high!

but pretty

Beautiful Nature

At the top of the gorge, All smiles
