I found out the Utah Sym. was doing a free concert and the Sandy Amp. So I thought, this will be fun, we had just gone to the Sandy Amp, for Brittin's performance and it was really little and had a nice slope on the grassy part that it would be a great place to have a family outing. So I left to get a spot early, thinking that it would be packed, it was a nice weather day. So I get there an hour early and get my front row grass spot and lay out all the blankets and chairs and bags of food, to keep the kids entertains, well at least their mouths full, so the noise level would be down. At the last min. I grab some comics that we had left in the car from the library run, thinking if they didn't like the music they could read in between the songs they didn't know. James showed up with 5 min. to spare, well the kids were ready to run and wrestle and scream, not to sit down quietly and get intellectually stimulated. So I showed the the food and then they started screaming I want that one, how come he gets that, I want some and then the noise of the bags opening, I thought why did we come. Well then they finally settled down and tried to listen but then they saw dad laying down and at our house that means JUMP. We don't have a tramp, so James is the tramp. Logan found the comics and wanted to read all of them and we were making too much noise for him to read. Brecken and Brittin were having a pillow fight and finally the intermission came and I had them run around at the back, They then decided to roll down the hill and got scolded by one of the volunteers. Then we played tag and then the show started again. This time they were ready to go home but then they started playing and the conductor had us clap, do a cell phone song, yell hee haw and march so I thought they were having fun but when we got in the car I ask to give the evening a rating from 1 -10 of how much they liked it and Brittin gave it a 1 and Kolbryn gave it a 3 and Logan gave it a 5 and Brecken gave it a 2 because that is how old he is. Brittin said the only thing she liked was that she got to stay up. So I guess next time I want to enhance their lives I guess I'll keep it to myself.
