McComb Family

Country in the Park has been on our list of things to do for a while, and this year since it fell near Brie's birthday, and since she's always wanted to go to a concert, we went!!! It was great fun. The kids started off at the bounce houses. This is about half of them!!! : )

Then they loaded up on sugar with ginormous snow cones. You got to add your own syrup, so the ice was just swimming in a sugary puddle!
Then we were ready for the concert!!!

Here are the little cowgirls!

Trailer Choir started off and we all rocked our beer guts! They were really entertaining, especially Big Vinnie and the worm! Then One Flew South played. Can't tell you much about them, because it was girls' turn in the beer garden at that point, and I completely missed their performance. Julianne Hough was next -- she was good. Next was Little Big Town -- they were my favorite!! And finally came on Billy Ray Cyrus. The girls were really hoping for a guest appearance by Miley, but no such luck. : ( They did go up front with the dads who put them on their shoulders so they could be right up in the action (can't miss them and their hats)!!

A lot of people started leaving early which opened up "the dance floor" next to our blankets and chairs.

Can't wait to find out who will be playing next year!!!

August 19th was the kids' first day of school - Briana in 4th grade and Adam in Kindergarten! Wow, how the time flies!! Here are the traditional pictures on the front steps!

This is Adam when he got to class that morning. He sat down to do his work and then turned to the kid next to him (who he'd never seen before in his life) and told him that he'd had his picture taken all morning, and then turned to me and told me that I could leave now. No separation anxiety here!!!!

After many years of hearing about the Black & White Ball in Auburn, we finally decided to go this year. One of the offices next to Bret's is a sponsor so we were able to get VIP tickets (which I hear is the only way to go!!). We got a hotel room and headed there to get ready. Here are the "Three Amigos".

Nice hat Bret!!! While we were waiting for the shuttle we took a bunch of pictures of us all decked out in our duds.

However after 45 minutes we finally gave up on the shuttle and piled into a car to drive ourselves there. There was food and lots of drinks!! Here are the four girls. I'm not sure what that guy is doing lurching there on the side -- yikes! : )

This picture was taken by the local paper and put on their web site. Pretty good one of all of us.

And this one was also taken by the newspaper, but it made the front cover!! There it was in all its glory the next morning of the three of them hopping onstage with one of the bands. I seemed to have been MIA at that point (thank goodness!).

Wow -- what a night!!!!!!
