Night of JOY!

September 12 was one of the best. Nights. Ever! (Actually, September 12 and 13; the FF5 concert was at midnight. =)) This was my birthday gift from my parents. My mom and I met the S's (and Kelsey) at the church and carpooled to Hollywood Studios (I think...), where we soon met up with the T's and G's. They took Ethan. I'm sure he enjoyed himself more with them. =)


This video cracks me up. This was my mother's first attempt at the picture, but the camera was set to video. =)







Wahoo! I was so excited to see Family Force 5!!

Our first ride was a movie tour. It went through scenes of a whole bunch of great movies. (Sorry the pictures are bad; no flash photography ;))




I took this one for Da Goob!


Mary Poppins!


When we came to the Old West section, this lady came out and started shooting blanks. She kicked our tour guide off and took charge. =)



It's Jane on her elephant! I want to ride the elephant!



Oz...


This is my new little buddy.



The Wicked Witch...

After the ride, we made our way to the first concert. Revive was playing. They're a super cool Australian band!

On the way there, we found giant Coke bottles.



By the way, I turned that picture into this one:


Picnik is an amazing thing.


Kermit the Frog!


This was the result of me sticking the camera in the air and yelling "Surprise!"


We sat under this during the Flyleaf concert. Every once in a while we'd see the guitar player's hair flipping around. =)

It started to drizzle too, but stopped after a while. I'm so glad! We brought emergency ponchos just in case. =)

After Flyleaf, we got some ice cream and headed to the Rockin' Roller coaster!


I found it amusing that it was sponsored by Hanes. =)


That ride was so fun! I had forgotten how much I love roller coasters!

After the Rockin' Roller coaster, we headed to the Skillet concert and met up with the guys.


They had a huge stage! It was like a stadium!



This how far away we were, but there was a screen at the top so we could see the action. =) And we could hear just fine.


They put on a great show!


But AFTER the Skillet concert...


...was FAMILY FORCE 5!


I was so excited to see them!!!


Obviously the pictures aren't great because it was, well, a concert.



Ignoring the strange hoodie, I think this picture represents FF5 very well.



They were wearing the craziest outfits: tight capris, tank tops, football shoulder pads, and football paint! Soul Glow Activtr was also wearing Mickey ears and, at one point, someone from the crowd's 3-D glasses. =)




I grabbed some videos of some of my favorite songs. Again, bad quality since I took them with a camera and not a real video camera, but it's fun to see them in action. =) You can still tell what they are playing.


Dance or Die



Drama Queen



Love Addict



Numb



Put Ur Hands Up



Supersonic



This was some of the most fun I have ever had! Thanks Mom and Dad!

It Happened.

Well, it happened. After 4 1/2 months of stress, it happened. Our house has sold. May I just say one thing?

WAHOO! IT'S OVER!!

Thank you. We close on October 21. But don't worry, we'll be back several times a year! And please come visit us! I'll be updating this blog regularly as we try to get our new house built and try to settle in to a new state!

Happy Autumn!


I don't know when the actual start of autumn is, but I'm tired of summer and I declare that it is autumn. School has started, the temperatures are below 95, and I want to start wearing jeans and sweaters. It's definitely autumn.
