July 4th

If I didn't include a blurb about what we did on July 4th, I would be a bad wife. Daddy got tickets to a concert that was held nearby. He had planned on taking a friend, but the friend fell through so I got to tag along. It was my first long amount of time away from Pumpkin. Dobbie watched the girls so they were well taken care of and well spoiled! :)

Off we went to see John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. It was a rather rainy evening, but don't worry, we had umbrellas with us. That was until after standing in the very long line waiting to get into and being told that our umbrellas could be used as weapons and would block views, we had to either take them back to the car or throw them away. Let's just say, we no longer own an umbrella...BUT we do own some nifty royal blue Bob Dylan ponchos! Ha!

It was a fun evening. Daddy was delirious with excitement to see Bob Dylan in concert. He has been quoted as saying, "Bob Dylan is my hero!" :) He screamed like a little boy on Christmas morning when Mr. Dylan took the stage...I was in awe of how old he looked and how much he resembles Cate Blanchett. (If you do not get that...Cate Blanchett portrayed Dylan in the movie I'm Not There.)



I was surprised by how many Willie Nelson songs I knew. That would be thanks to Mimi who was a country music fan. Daddy told me that he is still playing his original guitar! It even has a hole in it.


The evening ended with a fireworks show.


It was a nice evening and I did enjoy the music. Daddy was enthralled by the music...especially Dylan! :)
