Carrie Underwood/Keith Urban Concert

Another outing for me and Cailey. Our friends, the Emersons, invited us to join them in their suite at the Pepsi Center for the Carrie Underwood / Keith Urban concert. I have never been in a luxury suite, so I was especially excited to see what all the fuss is about ~ now I understand. It was a fantastic way to see the concert and spend time with friends!  Once again, I feel spoiled :o) This was Cailey's first real concert ~ if you don't count Barney or Raffi :o) ~ and she was excited to see Carrie Underwood sing.

Carrie Underwood was up first and Cailey spent the first few songs bouncing in her seat. Then, she joined me up behind the seats and we danced and danced.  The Emersons' left after Carrie Underwood and, by half way through Keith Urban when the other guests left, Cailey and I were the only ones left in the suite! What a treat. We danced, ate snacks and candy, drank soda, and generally enjoyed our time together.  Cailey lasted until the very last song and then requested that we go home ~ we missed the encore, but I was okay with that...she lasted longer than I expected.  We arrived home right about midnight. I let her sleep in today and then took her to school late...shhhh...don't tell her school.  I told them she had an appointment this morning  ~ which wasn't entirely false...she did have an appointment...an appointment with her bed!! :o)

The pictures are really bad, because I took them with my cell phone camera. I was under the impression that regular cameras were not allowed ~ "impression" being the big bold words on the ticket that said "no cameras" ~ but, I was surprised to see how many cameras suddenly appeared throughout the Pepsi Center once Carrie Underwood appeared on stage...hhhhmmmm.

HEY HEY! Glad you had fun and glad someone made it to the end...who needs the encore...you beat the traffic. Just to clarify...the Emerson's don't own the suite! We just get spoiled sometimes too because Grandpa's Company owns the suite!!!

Also you beat me to the blog...I haven't even taken the photos off my phone yet! But I am also procrastinating because the 2 most recent posts I am very proud of and I want them near the top a little longer!!
