Camping... Again

I obviously didn't get enough of camping last weekend, so I went home again this weekend to camp more, since my parents were still camping through Sunday. I surprised my parents. They had no clue that I was coming. But, boy I am glad I went. I had a super time! I got to eat a lot more great food, bike ride, play volleyball and football, swim, and fish more. On Sunday, Ryan and I went to the movies to see "Wedding Crashers." The movie was very hilarious, but I don't recommend it for kids (although some parents felt compelled to bring their young kids to it). That night, much to Ryan's dismay, we watched "The Notebook." That is an awesome movie, and I think I heard Ryan say that when the movie was over (even though it was going to be a stupid chick flick)... haha.

Camping at Prince Gallitzin State Park

This weekend, I went home to spend some time camping with my family. It was a wonderful weekend. I got to go fishing with Ryan and eat some good food. We fished with an old friend of the family (Bob Miller) and caught a good many fish. Ryan waded out with no shoes on up to his chest. I wore my hip boots, but also went a bit far, because I got over an inch of water down in them... haha. What great times with my best friend...

Baseball and Softball Games

While I was home this past weekend, I got to watch the boys play ball. They did really well. Ryan had a hit during the baseball game that was almost 400 yards with a wooden bat! What a man I tell ya!!! I miss playing ball, but I am glad they still have the opportunity to do so.

Bryan Adams and Def Leppard Concert!!!



Last night, I was that happiest woman alive! Why... because I finally had the opportunity to see Bryan Adams in concert! I was in "Heaven" making a "Night To Remember" at the Bryan Adams and Def Leppard concert. So "Pour Some Sugar On Me," because "There Will Never Be Another Tonight"!!!!!

Def Leppard (
http://www.defleppard.com/home.html) opened the show after some warmup music by Randy Coleman (http://randycoleman.net/). They put on a spectacular show, playing all of their famous songs. There playlist was as follows: Action, Let's Get Rocked, Woman, Foolin', Hysteria, Promises, No Matter What, Love Bites, Armageddon It, Rock On, Rocket, Photograph, Animal, Rock of Ages, Bringing on the Heart Break, and Pour Some Sugar On Me. They put on a spectacular show!

Bryan Adams (
http://bryanadams.com/onlineshop/Default.asp) followed Def Leppard, and blew me away. He is my favorite artist, and when he walked out on the stage, I cannot describe the feeling I had seeing him for the first time live. It was weird. I felt as if I knew him. It was everything I have ever imagined, and I cannot wait to see him again! His playlist was as follows: One Night Love Affair, Somebody, 18 til I Die, Can't Stop This Thing We Started, Kids Wanna Rock, Summer of ' 69, Back To You, Everything I Do, This Time, Cuts Like a Knife, When Your Gone, This Side of Paradise, Heaven, It's Only Love, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me, Run To You, Straight From the Heart, All For One, The Best of Me.



A picture of Bryan Adams and Me... kinda

Look at him rock out on the guitar

This is a pretty good action shot

Isn't he sooo cute?

Yet another picture of him playing the guitar

He is very talented

For some of the softer songs, he put down the electric guitar and picked up the acoustic one

This boy asked his girlfriend to marry him during "Heaven," which is their song... how sweet!

He put down the guitar and just sang for a little

The Drummer only has one arm, but he was so amazing to hear and watch!

That was a cool guitar... it looked like England's flag
