Riverfest!!

Well Robert and I had our first true experience of riding a bus to Riverfest, letting our oldest and her friend walk around WITHOUT us, and sitting in the rain to just earn the parent's of the year award..... ha ha!!! Riverfest is a big festival that Little Rock and North Little Rock puts on to celebrate Memorial week-end. We went to War Memorial stadium, and paid $2 round trip for each of us to ride the bus to downtown to Riverfest. These are coach style buses, air conditioned and really nice!!! It made it so worth it! Hardly had to wait on a bus for one, and two we didn't have to deal with a headache of parking downtown. Here are some shots from the bus ride.


This is Sara Jean and Shelby. We love having Sara Jean with us. She is a good kid and we would keep her all the time if we could! They were so excited to be going and getting to see Hinder in concert. This was Saturday night. The weather wasn't too hot, and it only sprinkled a little bit.


Ashley & Harley on the bus.


I snuck this picture of Ashley. I thought she looked so cute and funny at the same time. :)


Robert and I...... :)

Here's a pic of the lead singer in the band that Shelby and Sara Jean really like (on the right hand side, not the black guy :) ). This is Hinder. I really like a couple of their songs.




We went back on Sunday, by the bus again. It was raining, but the girls were in hopes of seeing Flyleaf and 3 Doors Down. I got tickled hearing an old lady on a cell phone say "We're over here where 4 Doors Down are going to be playing." I really wanted to say "Uh you've gone 1 door too many. It's only 3!!!!" ha ha!! Okay maybe you had to be there for that!

Here's Robert in the rain.


Here's me in the rain.


Here's Harley & Ashley in the rain. I thought their little set up was quite cute!


I took one of the crowd too, to show how many people STILL showed up even though it was raining. We waited probably an hour and a half. Flyleaf was suppose to start at 6:00 p.m. and by 7:40 p.m. they hadn't started playing and Robert said enough was enough. Shelby wasn't too happy, but luckily we found out today that Flyleaf and 3 Doors Down ended up cancelling around 8:15, not too long after we left. We didn't feel so bad and at least we tried!


It was so muddy up around the stage area. I wish I would've taken a pic of Shelby because her and another friend of her's got into a mud fight. OH well! What a day!
