U2 Concerts!!!

The Edge

Adam and Larry played RIGHT in front of us!!

The Black Eyed Peas opened for U2

They were awesome!!

This is how close we were to the stage walkway!!

Unbelievable!!

We were in line for hours to get that close.

It was October 18, 2009 in Norman OK. On October 18, 1993, 17 years earlier, we went on a date to our first U2 concert in Kansas City. This was our 6th U2 show that we have been to together. We saw show #5 in Dallas just a week before the Norman concert.

U2 is amazing!

The Edge

Bono

We can't wait for more!!

South Plains Fair 2009

We always have such a fun time every year at the fair. The kids enjoyed going on the rides and seeing the animals. Oh, and I can't forget the awesome greasy food!! Carter tried a fried Milky Way this year. Our favorite foods have to be the roasted corn and corndogs. The first night we all went to ride the rides. Emma and Carter enjoyed the freedom of being able to go around the carnival on their own this year. They showed that they were responsible and they had a blast! It was nice to get to be with Brennan at the kiddie rides. This was his first year being big enough to ride some things. His favorite rides were the motorcycles and airplanes.

They always have concerts at the fair that are free with admission. Last year we saw the Gin Blossoms. This year we saw Eddie Money. We got there a little late, but we enjoyed the last half of his show. He puts on a good show for an old guy! Well, I have to tell you why we were late! Our chuch has an annual chili cook-off and dessert contest. Last year I made apple dumplings and they won 1st place! I made a cheesecake this year and won 1st place AGAIN!! It made us late for the concert, but it was well worth it!
