Willie Nelson Concert

A few weeks back Greg found out that Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan were coming to town for a concert at a local minor league ballpark. He really wanted the kids to see Willie in concert before he dies (he's 76 now-wow) so he got us tickets and this Friday was the concert. Honestly the kids weren't super excited but once we finally got there and got in the shade (it was crazy hot because the concert started at 6pm) they really did like hearing the songs they knew and enjoyed it alot more than I thought they would. Greg's friend, Brian English, was there and his dad, Billy English, is the drummer for Willie so he was nice enough to let us come up and share their family/friends suite. We had a alot of fun and were thrilled to get to sit in the air conditioning when we wanted! It was a nice family outing and we know the kids will thank us later for taking them to see it--well even if they don't they sure will be 2 of the most "cultured" kids around-especially after hearing Bob Dylan:) ~there were probably 20 kids total at the concert...guess most parents opted out for a babysitter;)

it was cool how they had the stage set up. It was in the outfield and you could either sit on the field or in the stands. This is our view from the suite--nice...very nice:)

This is Brian English and Greg. They are good friends from high school and went to OBU together. ~it's Brian's Dad who is the drummer for Willie.

Abby and Reese with Willie in the background....notice the BIG Texas flag--too funny:) The kids thought that was really cool!
