DMB 2009

So, this was year 5 at Dave Matthews. It was awesome as always. The music was amazing. We saw G-Love and the special Sauce and unfortunately missed Yonder Mountain. Dave Matthews was phenomenal as always. He played a lot of new stuff which was great to get to hear it live for the first time. All of his older music you can find Live versions of but not his new stuff yet. He also played with Tim Reynolds, who is a good friend of his and an amazing guitar player. I had never had a chance to hear them play together and it was phenomenal.

We also decided to stay at a different campsite. It was much more expensive but it was a smaller area and the people were much different. I am seriously considering trying out premier camping next year instead. It was an awesome group of us this year and we had a blast. Before everyone else got there we headed off to play at Moses Lake. That was a lot of fun. So, here are some pics...
I love this pic. It is my new profile pic for most of my websites now.

At the campsite
Alisha hanging out at the site
Here we were playing with some neighboring campers...it was a game of hackey-volley-soccer-kick ball. It was quite entertaining
Ethan heading after the ball
A lot of people brought pools. The kids thought that was so cool.
Walking around the site.
The kids always love hanging out in the hammock
She's one cool cat!!
More playing in the hammock
Hanging at our friend's campsite
I told them to act like they like each other.
Catching some Zzzzzz's before the show
It started raining a couple of hours before the show on Saturday and Sunday. So we got all ready for the rain
The gorge is especially gorgeous after the rain
The kids wanted to take their pic from under the bear. I have no idea!
Then from on it, but it freaked Addie out a bit
This little girl loved the concert
And i loved it
The stage, with the Columbia River running behind it

Tolmie State Park

I know the idea of a beach in Washington seems a little strange. In all honesty, it is strange. I love all the water here, even the rain, but the beaches here are a little weird. Last weekend was my neighbor's birthday and she wanted to go down to the beach a few miles from home with her grandkids. So me and Addie joined her. Ethan was at my parents' house and didn't get to come. so I grabbed my camera and went a little crazy. It was kinda cold, but a beautiful day.

This look on her face just cracks me up.
She was real quick to hike up her pants, kick off her shoes and get wet.
I'm not sure there is much to say about a lot of these pics. I think my girl is just gorgeous and in a gorgeous setting.
You are never too young to learn about showing crack. I did get her to learn how to try and pull up her pants when they start hanging down.
More sweetness
Hanging out with the neighbor kids. They are all within a few months of each other, with Addie being the youngest.
They found a jelly fish
Addie thought it was yucky and wouldn't touch it
Then Caden touched it
So she checks it out real close
and not wanting to be out done by a boy...
she reaches down and gives it a good poke
but she still thinks it is icky!!
Posing in the water for her mama. She is such a ham!!
