On August 20 I was no longer the meanest mom in the world. Thanks to Lisa we all went to see the JONAS BROTHERS and quickly became the coolest moms in the world!
It was SO. MUCH. FUN. let me repeat that a little louder....MUCHO FUN-O (like that spanish?)
So the evening went like this....
4pm- leave LaGrange
4:15pm Stop by McD's for dinner
5:45pm get stuck in Jonas Brother concert goer's traffic
6:00pm pass by lots of "official looking" trafic directors who were showing us where to park....what they turned out to be were owners of empty lots or front yards that wanted us to park there for $10-$15! are they crazy??
6:15pm we parked in an empty lot for ....$20;) but not before trying to make a deal with a T-shirt salesman. OF course they were $60 shirts but he was going to give us a deal at $20 each! How could we pass that up??....by driving faster than he could walk:)
6:30 we park and stand in line. The concert was suppose to start at 7pm and at the looks of the line we were hoping we wouldn't miss anything. Like those T-shirts??
here we are waiting in line....ever so excited!
7pm- our tickets were scanned and we were free to get in!!!
7:15pm we make our way to the amphitheater and try to find out assigned seats on the grass:) just teasing. There weren't any....it was just pick-a- spot. We decided the best place would be at the top of the hill. We found a spot closer to the stage but we figured when the people in front of us stood up we wouldn't be able to see anything! and they would be standing up for sure!
We found a spot at the very top and a nice man took a group shot. What you couldn't see were the sweat marks on our shirts.....it was HOT!
This is what it looked like from where we were sitting....really not as bad as it looked because they had those HuGe screens so we could see the singers.
waiting....and waiting....for someone to come out and sing! I don't know what time it was but they didnt' start at 7pm!
While we waited we took a picture with the newspaper....we need to send that in don't we Lisa!
Wesley getting excited!!! Sophia said she almost fell asleep while waiting for Nick, Kevin and Joe to come out.....looks like it Fia:)
Patrick being....Patrick;)
Nate didn't love the concert like Fia and Wesley....he had fun trying to NOT be in the pictures though!
this is what Sophia looked like when the Brothers came out! It was about 9pm then....
My camera did get a couple good shots of them....thank goodness they had those HuGe screens so we could see all the action because they were looked like little stick people....but very cute ones;)
Burnin' Up, burnin' up for you BABY!
i'm slipping into the lava.....and that is what I sang for the next 48 hours after the concert!
look at those lips!
Ok....maybe Nate can give us his opinion....
Well just ask Fia and Wesley what they thought...or Lisa and I. We would have paid more for the tickets because it was a FaB-o good time! Thanks Lisa for inviting us!

Good comments and pictures of the Jonos ( I can't remember how to spell their name...) Bros. Did Fia fall asleep too? Too much excitement will make a body desire sleep! I'm glad it was a lot of fun. My friends and I did a Bo Diddley concert in Florence and we got there early and were the first ones in the door and we got front row seats-bad thing to do. The amps were larger than we were and the sound swallowed us entirely. Oh, well. What you'll do when your young!
We did have a great time!!! I only wish I had a video camera with me to capture our kids excitement and happiness on tape. I can't wait to go again and this time we will make sure our t-shirts come out right on the back! I'll make sure I give my concert update when I get back from seeing Rick Springfield again in February. (Now if I can get those JO BRO songs out of my head!)
What a great post - you are too funny! However, I think I'd like Rick Springfield better than Jonas Brothers - I don't even know what they sing. Does that mean I'm showing my age, or that my children are just to young to be into them yet?
Way to go coolest mom (I always knew you were the coolest, not the meanest!)
Oh yea....I forgot to add that part Lisa...how we had such a fun time watching the kids have fun! I think we made Sophia self-conscious from laughing at her having so much fun....push it:)
next time we will for sure bring the camera.
kelly-your children are just too young....just wait....you will be singing the next teenie bopper group songs in about 4 years!
What a fun time! The onlything missing was me and my kids! Well, minus Forrest. He's just too cool for the Jo-Bros!
oh my gosh that pic of sophia is priceless!!!!!!
