CONCERT!!!

We got home from vacation on Friday. On Saturday after picking the dogs up from "A walk in the woods" Dawn (from my work) and I went to Ford Field to see an amzaing concert. We first met up with her sister Bonnie and Bonnie's friend Suzie who live near there. We met them at Hockey Town Cafe for a few beers and a few shots! The concert was GREAT! Gary Allen opened up, then Leann Rymes took the stage, then came the man we went to see KEITH URBAN!! then the head liner was Kenny Chesney! We listened to Gary Allen while walking around and eating, stood around watching bits and pieces of Leann Rymes then took our seats. For those of you that don't know Dawn, she is a HUGE Keith Urban fan. Her husband even bought her a license plate for her vehicle that says ILOVEKU. It was great. Dawn was screaming and even crying before he came on stage. They played a song, and made it look like he was walking down the road to the stage and he appeared! Dawn was CRYING and SCREAMING!!! It was so funny! He did an amazing show. I had never seen him in concert. Dawn says this was her 11th time seeing him. He was on stage for a little over an hour. Kenny Chesney came on and did a great show too!! He even had Uncle Cracker on stage with him for 1 song! Anyways, it was great. Dawn and I had an amazing time along with her sister and cousin. Enjoy the pics!

Way home from Canada

On our way home last Friday night, we were sitting at customs waiting our turn, when Drew noticed a HUGE something trying to squeeze thru the over sized load area. There was NO way this thing was going to fit. Some how it had already gotten stuck, and now we watched them try to shimmy it back and forth to move the item to the side a bit, so it could go. There were 2 top type things sticking out, 1 on each side but not across from each other, so once they got the first one thru, they tried to get this huge item to shift a bit to get the other top thru. Adam thought it was a cover for something! While they were trying to shimmy this, they had to move the truck back and forth, b/c that was the only way to shift it a bit. Well while moving back and forth about 1 foot, they went a bit too far, and hit the roof!!! We heard the big scraping sound! There were probably 10 people trying to help move it, and supervise! We definitely had something to watch while sitting there waiting! WHY they thought this HUGE thing was going to even fit thru, we had no idea! It just didn't look like it was going to happen. I snapped this 1st pic while sitting there, and the 2nd one after it hit the roof! While I was trying to take the 2nd pic, a guy that was standing around supervising told me I wasn't allowed to snap pics...oops!! The 2nd one was while we were actually sitting at the customs window! It was just CRAZY!!!

African Lion Safari

On our way home, we stopped at the African Lion Safari in Canada. WOW was it great! You drive your own vehicle thru and see all kinds of animals out roaming around! We did get a baboon on our van the 2nd time we Safaried!! We had a GREAT time. I would so highly recommend this to anyone with or without kids! Real neat!
