A Mellow Brick Road...: Bob Dylan Americanarama Tour

Today was a special day for all of us, looking forward to our evening concert outing to see Bob Dylan! The concert is part of Dylan’s Americanarama tour and he is appearing tonight at Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville with bands Wilco and My Morning Jacket.

Daddy hurried home in mid-afternoon from work, and helped settle two wild baby angels down for an attempted afternoon nap before our evening adventure. The nap was not a particularly successful venture for Mister Buddha, but we did manage maybe an hour of sleep :).

By early evening Mommy and Daddy were packing for our outing and getting the two of you in your concert hippie gear :). Mommy packed cheese and crackers and fruit snacks and cold water, and of course Daddy packed a couple of beers and a few cokes, a tarp for the lawn and a couple of blankets to lay comfortably on while watching and listening to the music in the lawn section of the concert venue. Grandmoo stopped by as we were loading the Toyota and she volunteered to take our concert-going-family photo with Daddy’s phone camera :).

We were running somewhat late so Daddy made a quick drive-through at the Burger King on U.S. 31 for some cheeseburgers and fries, then back on the road to get to the concert. We did in fact arrive in time to get a decent parking spot so we didn’t have to walk a great distance, though the two of you wouldn’t have minded given we took along the carriage :).

Once inside, both Mommy and Daddy were pleased to discover several folks had brought along their young children so Ms. Bodhi and Mister Buddha truly had a blast playing kick ball with another child your age and then Ms. Bodhi took up with a little boy about your age and his Mommy and Mommy supervised the three of you having a blast playing with the tarp Daddy brought along :). It figures that it would be a Dylan concert that Mommy and Daddy witnessed more children present than any previous concert event! Bodhi, you and your little new "boyfriend," were holding hands, dancing, and running around chasing each other. At one point, Mr. Buddha, got very jealous as you two danced hand-in-hand and he tackled the little boy to the ground and yelled, "MY SISTER!" Such doll babies. Bodhi, then took both of your hands and you danced in a circle :)

Mommy and Daddy very much enjoyed the overall concert, and of course Mommy especially is mesmerized by Bob Dylan. Daddy was very impressed with both of the other bands, My Morning Jacket, and especially Wilco. It made for a long evening so we packed up and headed out about 11:00 p.m. and of course didn’t get home ‘til about midnight whereupon both of you insisted you have a slumber party with Daddy :)--the party lasted about five minutes before both of you were lights out! Daddy was appreciative you wanted to have a slumber party with Daddy, Jude Liam, because on the way home you said you were going to get a house of your own and when Mommy asked if she could live with you, you said “yes;” when Daddy asked if he could live with you, too, you said “no, and don’t ask again.” You are a hootJ! Bodhi, you of course rescued Daddy and said Daddy could live with you---Daddy doesn’t care what you tell Mommy, Daddy knows you are a Daddy’s girl!!! :)

PS Daddy got pulled over by one of Mommy's long time friends, thankfully- and Mommy's friend let us off :)

What a night---lights out---night, night!!! Love, love, love.
