Feeling Like a (New) Kid Again

Tonight, my friend Jessica and I went to see NKOTBSB in concert. If you don't know, that stands for New Kids On The Block/Back Street Boys. We had such a good time!!

I first saw NKOTB in concert when I was a junior in high school ~ it was my first "real" concert that I was allowed to attend by myself. My dad dropped me off after school, and I waited in line for HOURS as it was general admission seating (I did manage to squirm up to the front row!) and April C's mom brought me home!

We're all a little older this time around and while the concert didn't end until midnight and then we had a 1 1/2 hour ride home...it was so worth it!

The "boys" haven't changed a bit, they've gotten better with age!

 
here are some of the cars when we pulled into the parking area
me and Jessica
taking our seats!
there were even guys there!  However most were women ages 25-50
 Matthew Morrison (aka Mr Schuster from Glee) was the opening act

he can sing, dance, act and play the ukele 
 then it was time for the main event:
 Just sit back and enjoy the photos!!
 New Kids on the Block
 Nick Carter (BSB)
 Joey McIntyre (NKOTB) ~ he's my favortie
Back Street Boys
 AJ McLean (BSB)
 Brian Littrell (BSB) ~ he's now recording christian music
 They've got the Right Stuff!
 Jordan Knight (NKOTB)~my other favortie
 Joey
 Jordan
 NKOTBSB
 Donnie Wahlberg (NKOTB)~my final favorite
 see why?!?

 Donnie came to our section, just 2 rows in front of us ~ it was madness!
 "I'll be Loving You Forever"

 Brian & Joey
 Nick & Jordan
 the finale ~ BSB
 NKOTB
It was fun to be 15 again!  What a fun night ~ even if I didn't get in bed until 2am! 

I have plenty more pictures and videos if you ever want to see them!

Good Night for a Swim

Reagan and Cooper are getting great use of their swim suits/trunks this year ~ swim lessons 2 nights per week, and a pool day for Reagan and a water day for Cooper each week, plus random swim parties...swim lessons are paying off too!
