The Beach Boys Concert!

Last Tuesday we surprised the three oldest girls by taking them to the Beach Boys concert. The girls had no idea. I picked the girls up from school early. Why are you picking me up they said. It's a surprise I said. We walked on the 3:00 ferry and had a nice ferry ride. It was so fun to just relax in the sun and enjoy the ferry ride.
We made it to Seattle and walked along the water front. We went to one of the girls favorite shops The Curiosity Shop. They love to go and see the Mummies and all the interesting stuff they have there. We then took the girls to Red Robin on the water front for dinner. It was Awesome! Kyle had the girls convinced that we came to Seattle to pick blackberries for the blackberry festival. We started our walk up to Safeco Field. The girls are still trying to figure out where we are going. The walk is tiring for the girls. Are we almost there. We get to Qwest Stadium and Gabby Says are we going to a Mariners game. We said no they are not playing today. Gabby says are we going to the Beach Boys concert. We said yes! She said she heard about it on the radio and saw the commercial on the TV. We went into the concert and found out it really didn't start until 7:30. So we hung out at Safeco Field for an hour and 1/2. Before the concert started there was a benefit for Seattle Childrens. The kids were a little bored.

The concert was fantastic once it started. By the time the concert started Belle fell asleep and slept the whole concert. I think she heard only one song. Gabby and Belle loved it. I forgot to mention that Carlee and Spencer came to the concert also. Spencer surprised Carlee for their anniversary. They had seats on the floor. They moved up right by the stage and danced the whole concert. We saw them on the big screen a few times. We sang and danced in our seats through the whole concert. It was so much fun. I recommend going to their next concert. If they have anymore they are getting so old. It was worth all the hassle. We were planning on walking back to the ferry with the girls. By the time the concert was over it was so dark and so late. Carlee and Spencer took are sweet little girls home in their car. So they slept the whole drive home. Then Carlee brought the girls home to my house and put them in bed.

We walked to the ferry and decided to stop by Ivars for clam chowder and then to Mcdonalds at the ferry for ice cream. We had to wait for the ferry which wasn't until 10:30. We didn't get home until 11:45. Carlee was already here and my kids were sound asleep in their beds. Thanks Carlee!

It was a lot of fun!
