For the past several years, Brian and I have made a Date Night out of WJIE Day at the fair. There's always a free concert, so we've left the kids with family and had some couple time.
This year, because the girls are into the music we listen to on the radio, we decided to take them along for their first concert. Francesca Battestelli and MercyMe were the performing artists, and the girls were pretty familiar with their music , mostly just 2 recent songs. But they were excited to go to the fair again and to attend their first real concert.
On our first trip to the fair Friday with Mawmaw, we saw the balloon people starting this display. They only had the legs to the octopus and nothing was hung yet. So it was pretty neat seeing this whole thing complete! The girls were pretty amazed at how it all turned out!
At the concert with Daddy....
Goofing off while waiting for MercyMe....
All that waiting, and Ava only made it through the first song! She slept soundly for the entire MercyMe concert until the very last song, "All of Creation," when she sat up in my lap and smiled. The next day, we were talking about the concert and I asked if they liked it and if it was what they expected it to be. Ella said, "I didn't know they were going to sing 1,000 songs!" Ava replied, "They didn't.... they only sang 2 or 3!" I laughed because that's all she heard!
On our way out, the girls saw the fountain all lit up and wanted a photo...
And Ava had trouble keeping up with us on the walk to the car, so Daddy helped out....
