Little Texas

Allen and I walked over last night to the main stage and watched Little Texas play. They put on a really good show. They have a new album out, which I bought and then stood in line for about a half an hour for them to sign. The kids were not interested in going, so they stayed home. Greg was parking cars at the high school for the band and didn't get off until 8:30 pm so he wasn't able to go either. He didn't mind though, he really doesn't like country.

Tonight Denver and the Mile High Orchestra will be playing over at the main stage. They were on the TV show "America's Greatest Band" (I think that is what it was called). It was like an American Idol show only with bands. Anyway, they made it all the way to the finals, but didn't end up winning. The lead singer is from Plymouth, so of course the town was following the show pretty close.


All the shows at the festival are free. They have two stages in the park for shows and then there is an amphitheatre at the edge of the park where they have gospel music bands playing all weekend long.

We had so much fun watching these two little kids play in the dirt. They got sooooo dirty, but were lovin it so much!!



Saturday at 6:30 pm was the balloon launch. They flew right over our house. The black, red and white one is the one that Allen & I went up in when we rode a few years ago.

Greg parking cars at the high school...was not thrilled to see me show up with my camera! He said, and I quote, "My life isn't an open book, Mom!"

This is how not to leave the parking area! This poor older lady thought she had her car in reverse, but it was in drive and she drove straight into the ditch. This was in the lot across the street from our backyard.

Here is the tow truck showing up to pull her out. Her front bumper was dented in but they managed to pull it out.

Me and officer Kip!

This is Carl. He is the one that oversees all the other cops here. It is his wife that always brings us a plate of homemade candies at Christmas time.

I love that story about Greg and how his life is not an open book! HAAA! He doesn't understand that there is no privacy when it comes to a mom and her blog! :)Oh and save me one of those blueberry donuts! They looked awesome!

Greg sounds just like Kyle. He wasn't thrilled that I took a "first day of high schoool" picture either. I will blog it, eventually. :) Anyway, I think it was cool that he was working to park cars!
