Concert & Dogs

Okay this is my last encore post about our anniversary concert date. So Carrie had 2 opening acts, we missed the first one - a boy band called Sons of Sylvia. But we came just in time to catch Craig Morgan. He's got quite a few hit songs on Country radio, so I was looking forward to seeing him. We didn't even know his act was starting...when Stephen noticed this crazy guy walking over some floor seat chairs coming towards our way. Stephen said to me with a chuckle, "Look at this crazy dude!" not even realizing it was CRAIG MORGAN!!!! He came straight up to us and went to give Stephen a high five but Stephen dissed him! Ha ha. Then he snuck up behind the teeny bopper girls sitting next to us and said to them, "Are you ready to get started?"...they started squealing of course. It was pretty funny.

He then came down to the audience again towards the end of his performance and walked over to us again! (That's when I took these pics of him) And again Stephen dissed his high five! Ha ha. I guess Stephen was too cool for him. Anyway, Craig gave a great performance...he sang my favorite song of his...."That's What I Love About Sunday"...

I thought this was a great shot of Carrie...she looks great in anything.

And here's the mom with her three 13 year old teeny boppers sitting next to us. These girls were up on there feet like this the entire concert! The mom told me this wasn't as bad as when she chaperoned them to the Jonas Brothers concert, she said she brought ear plugs to that one.

Before the concert we ate downtown at Frank Hot Dogs Cold Beer. What a cool place! I know my bro David digs their website, we'll have to take them here to eat next week when they come for a visit.

Video Stephen took in the car on the way to Frank's.

They had a lot of very cool drinks on their menu....I tried their delicious Ginger Cherry Limeade and Stephen had their PBR on draft.

Doesn't this pic just scream "heart attack!" ha ha...well once in a blue moon it's alright. Madeline asked about the middle item, Cheese Waffle Fries, after I told her what they were she made a slurping sound! Stephen tried the Jalapeno Cheese Dog and I tried their Chili Cheese Dog. All this food for $13.50, and we couldn't even finish it all. It's definitely one of our new favorite eateries! And it's kid friendly too. And I like that on their menu they offer veggie dogs and gluten free buns! We had a fabulous anniversary date! Can't wait to see what's in store for us this next year.

Carrie

We had such a fun time celebrating our anniversary last night on our concert date. These are only a few pics, both Stephen and I had a camera so we took lots of pics and videos. We had great seats! We were on the floor section on the right side. We were in the last row aisle seats, but since our seats were angled towards the stage no one was sitting directly in front of us. We did have a mom and three 13 year olds next to us, boy these girls were up dancing the entire time! It was actually fun to watch.

I love the words to this song. It makes me thankful to all those families that send off their sons, husbands and fathers to war. Carrie was sitting on a swing while she sang this one. Her stage was set up so beauitful!

She had quite a few wardrobe changes, but she always looked so cute. I love this newer song of hers. From many of Carrie's songs you know by her words she is a believer in God. This was one of those songs...

Check out the screen behind Carrie. The look of the home changed throughout the time she was singing. Very cool!

Carrie surprised the audience when she came out singing while standing in a pick up truck that hovered around the arena and above the audience! Was very cool. All the people up above were yelling and screaming because they got to see her up so close.

She sang, "Country Road" while on the truck. Here she is passing right above us! I had a short video clip but it didn't upload correctly. Will have to share in another blog post.

She sang all her popular songs including this one, her first single that she wrote herself. She sounded the same live as she does over the radio. In one of her songs she played the piano and a slideshow of her childhood photos displayed on the screen in the background...and the last pic was of her and her fiance. They make a really cute couple. Well once I upload some more videos and pics I'll be sure to share!
