We pawned off Little Pumpkin to my friend
Jaime. (thanks again!) And headed for a "special surprise." Little Lion was dying to know what, where, when and why! I was impressed with his inquiries . . . "Are we spending the night?" "Will I stay there without you?" Just like his daddy . . . one smart fella! (I won't reverse that like his daddy does!)
ANYWAY, once on the road we started giving clues. The biggest one being "remember when you went to see Handy Manny with Magnum?" (well, great clue dad, but now we had one bummed little boy that we weren't going to see Handy Manny.) Finally after explaining what a concert was, we asked who he would want to go see if he could go to a concert . . . "
Tobymac" JACKPOT!!!

This is the worst cheesy smile I've seen! But Daddy Lion was looking good! *wink*

SO, we were on the floor! Awesome seats (if you're 6'3"!) This is
Tobymac introducing the first performer, b.
reith. I enjoyed his soulful sound!

Reliant K ~ we realized we aren't has hip as we used to be! *grin* I only knew one song . . . thanks to Tia. (
Sadie hawkins Dance in my khaki pants
ooo,
ooo,
ooo . . .)

What's a concert without a cheesy self portrait!?!
Little Lion kept asking "why are they singing the wrong words?" After sitting through 3 performances:

The long awaited
Tobymac and Diverse City!

Since we were on the floor. . . Daddy Lion was holding Little Lion much of the night. I did when he would let . . . I just really wasn't much help being vertical challenged myself! *wink*
The song of choice! Little Lion was ready to go home after hearing his song! This is the one he had waited all night for:
BOOMIN'

At one point,
Tobymac was so close . . . we were on the edge of a row and was hoping he'd come further down, but this is as close as he got!

YES! He is asleep during the encore! I'm not sure how!!!

Everyone came back out for the last song . . . a Christmas song. We had so much fun! I'm sure we'll have many more concerts in our future. . . that boy loves him some music!
OK SO THAT is what you have been doing with your time!!!! For 30 you are SO hip!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great time and a wonderful memory for your little lion.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa just watched the video with me and was like "They got to go to a Tobymac concert!" How fun! When we took the girls to the Hannah Montana concert they just loved it too.

What a fun surprise for Little Lion. I'm glad he had fun (and that you guys did, too). :-) I enjoyed having Little Pumpkin (the boys especially did) and I'd still keep her in a heartbeat! :-)
