Busy, Busy Weekend!

Last weekend was complete insanity! We had stuff to do, wanted to do, from the word GO.  It was a fun filled weekend and one that we actually all spent together. What gets better than that?!

Rick and I kicked off the weekend with a date. Yes, those rare nights when it's just the two of us - it was heaven.  He got us tickets to SOLAS, a celtic ensemble with a modern edge.  They were playing at Texas Tech for one night, and bless his soul, Rick found out about it and jumped on the opportunity. It was great!  The music was incredible and we had so much fun. The band was two fiddles, a banjo, an accordian, acoustic guitar, piano/keyboard, and        flute.  AMAZING!! Check em out online.

Saturday brought an early start to Aidan's soccer tournament.  Three games between 8am and 2pm - what a long day!  It didn't help that the wind gusts were between 50 and 65 miles per hour. Nothing like dust in your mouth.  Aidan's team played well, winning two of the three games. In fact, Aidan scored the first goal with his FACE!! He was tough though and shook off, getting back in the game within seconds.  We couldn't have been prouder.

That night, we went to the Science Spectrum Center for fun around the museum, pizza, and an IMAX film - TORNADO ALLEY.  We had a blast running around playing with everything!  The food was really good, it usually is when its free!  But we were most impressed with the movie. It was so good, such a visually stunning experience.  We loved it!

And that brings us to Sunday.  Olivia's debut at the Lubbock Arts Festival.  She sang three songs from ANNIE in front of 15 seated guests and loads of wondering festival goers. She was AMAZING!!!  We were so proud, just beaming through happy tears.

The festival was really cool. They had brought in a Crayola sculpter and he displayed some very creative pieces.  It was fun to walk around and take a look. There was also a vendor display - everything from wooden bowls, to paintings, to wire sculptures. You name it.  We also did the kid circuit. Bouncy castle, color station, freebies from Home Depot, etc. 

We were so pooped by the time Sunday evening came. We all slept well that night!!
