We usually try to go to the first couple of concerts before the Texas heat hits in the summer, and last Thursday night the weather was just perfect. We headed out to meet some friends, brought along some shrimp salad and potato salad, along with drinks and snacks for HUT, and listened to some Big Band music.
HUT thought it was pretty fun to run and flail around on the big blanket that we had...
And we brought along some toys, which he insisted on throwing to everyone...
Here's a small shot of the boats that park near the concert area to listen to the band...
And the actual band, which was really great...
Surprisingly, HUT was a big fan of the shrimp salad that we prepared (recipe to come later this week)...
It was a bit of work keeping HUT from running off (the U took the brunt of that chasing around), but all in all, we enjoyed the evening. We're hoping to go to a couple more of these free evenings before it's too hot and humid outside to enjoy it.
Looks like it was a fun time! Our city has had free concerts on the green for several summers but they've gotten to be more of a hang out and not people there that want to hear the music so we stopped going. The lake setting you have there is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteGaw, this looks like such a blast! Austin has many events like this yet we rarely take advantage of them - I need to rectify that soon! Also, your kid is SO darn cute - you're going to have quite the heartbreaker on your hands in a few years ;)
