First Friday Downtown

My friend, Kelly, told me about First Friday a couple of months ago.  It is series of free outdoor concerts downtown.  Well, our last experience with a free outdoor concert did NOT go well, so I had my hesitations.  But on her recommendation, we gave it a try. 

Loved it.

All of us had a blast.

 We ate red vines.

Relaxed on the lawn.

Listened to a couple of bands.
A little on the hard rock side.
Just enough.
We liked em.

Visited the craft table where the challenge was to
get creative with a paper plate.
Whit was up for it with this feather-laden mask.

While Caroline carefully cut a fringe all the way around hers.
She's a fan of scissors.

Whit had some cute one-on-one time with Daddy.

Brandon challenged complete strangers to lightsaber duels.
All the cool kids were doing it.

And everyone tried to console Caroline when she
inadvertently took a lightsaber to the eye.

Other than her minor injury, the night was a huge success.
We hope to go again next month.
Anyone care to join us?

That sounds like fun! Poor care bear though.

I love that picture of Caroline and the red vines! What a fun adventure for you - the last picture is great too - it's not fun to get a lightsaber in the eye.

Caroline --May the force be with you.
I wish the force would be with me when I try to make a comment and have to do some things twice because the word verification doesn't show up. Any suggestions?
