Baby Toads

Usually some time during the summer while we're at one of the free Thursday night concerts, there will be a bunch of baby toads.  The last couple of years, we haven't seen many, but this year, we hit the jackpot again!

Gemini Brothers Concert 2014

Emily got to be a part of the Gemini Brothers concert again now that she's actually in 2nd grade.  This year, we decided to bring all the kids.  Grandpa and Grandma decided to come, too.

U.S. Army's Spirit of America Concert

On Saturday, we went to the U.S. Army's Spirit of America concert with my parents and sister & her kids. It was a free concert, but you needed tickets.





Opening
















The first half of the concert was an overview of American history with little reenactments of key portions.



































The 2nd half of the concert was performances by different groups/bands.




























































This shows the the crowds of people. We were about 4 rows from the top!














William didn't like the "booms".

















My niece, Anna, pretty much kept her ears covered like this the whole concert (even the half that didn't have any gunfire!)













This shows how close to the top we were!









Andrew didn't stay any one place for long. He was sitting with Grandma, Daddy, and Mommy, plus just standing in front of us.











The pictures of the Drill Team are less clear because Andrew was tired and fussy, so he was wiggling and it made it hard to hold steady with no flash!

Dan turned the flash on for this picture.

Closing

The clean up crew did a spoof of the Drill Team
