Kids at a Concert

Our friend Everett (Donovan's dad) invited us to come to a free concert at NC State on Thursday night. We figured we'd give it a try, but the experience pretty much confirmed why we never do things like this, especially not on a weeknight.

We had to rush home from work and rush through supper to get there around 6:30.  Then the kids saw Donovan with a popsicle, so they wanted popsicles. Zac gave them money and sent them off (a step towards independence).  They successfully came back with popsicles, but of course they each only ate about half of theirs. (We finished them for them--but germs!) 

Then Simon whined most of the time.  Alice had a blast though. She spend most of the time on the lawn in front of the stage playing and running with the other kids.

Then we got home late and had to rush to get the kids to bed.  It was fun to try, but Simon was weird the whole time and didn't even play with Donovan.
