Hot Club of Cowtown

Tonight was DATE NIGHT!  Mommy and Daddy met up with some friends from high school and went to a new theater down in Duluth to see one of our favorite bands, Hot Club of Cowtown.  What an incredible performance!  Each musician is amazingly talented, and the fun, joyous energy of the set was contagious.  The audience was thrilled, clapping and stomping the whole time.  In fact, Daddy's feet are still tapping as he types this up.  Afterwards, the band met up with everyone in the lobby, and they were just as warm and personable as they were on stage.

The three were happy to sign a CD we bought there that night, which was a really neat because one of our friends had brought his young daughter, who is learning to play the violin.  She's an aspiring musician, and last night she got to see the best we've ever seen.  If you ever have an opportunity, you absolutely must see this band - you will not regret it!

So you may be asking - what did Madison do during all this time?  We dropped her off with Ye-Ye and Nana, who took her down to Buford to visit a fair with Hannah and Aunt Shain.  There were inflatable castles, which she bounced in.  There were sand art stations, which she visited to make her own sand art bottle.  There were places to get colorful temporary tattoos, which she and Hannah both got.  In short, she had a great time.  They got home earlier than us, of course, so they plugged in the movie "Wall-E," which Madison sat and watched - but she fell asleep before getting to the end.  It was a busy day for her after school, and for all of us too.  But what a day it was!
