Tuesday afternoon Justin sent me a text saying that Romney and Ryan were going to be in town that night... and like 5 minutes from our house at Red Rocks Amphitheater! (you might remember our first visit there... when Uncle Joggy was in town... Click
HERE to relive that awesome adventure!)
SO, Justin said he got us 5 tickets! Totally spur of the moment... we decided to go!! It was pure crazyness... but we're the CRA-CRA's... and dude, these moments help us feel like we are livin'... Boo-ya!
I was just SUPER grateful Brinley took a nap that afternoon... (pepper too! how sweet!)
These two were really excited to go to their first presidential rally! and we were lucky enough to find an awesome (free) parking spot on the side of the road, in the little town called Morrison!
We had an awesome hike up to Red Rocks... (we did the math... and turns out we walked 2.1 miles EACH WAY! Our kids awesome, awesome little hikers. J carried B most of the way.)
Waiting in line to get it!! almost there!
It could not have been a more perfect night for them to be in town! We were able to hear Rodney Atkins(country singer) and Kid Rock to 'rally us up'! I felt like i was in high school again, listening to Kid Rock... but he used very clean language and was really cool. Rodney Atkins was adorable singing to the cute little old ladies in the handicap section! Then Ryan and Romney came out and the crowd went crazy!! I yelled a few "AMERICA's" myself... It was spectacular!
how cool is that...?? RR! word! (oh, and that 'nose bleeder' section in the back was packed in no time... this place was over flowing with supporters!)
So glad we went. the kids were little zombies but it was worth it. We all went right to sleep after we got home. Never thought i'd go to bed at 9:30! So GREAT!
Praying for a RED COLORADO in two weeks!! :)
