Train Concert in Vail

Vail has an event called Spring Back to Vail to attract some visitors while the season winds down. All week long they have free concerts and events. Aunt Kimmy happened to be visiting the same night that Train was having a free concert in Vail. Since Hey Soul Sister is Lilly's favorite song, she came along too. We had a fun girl's night! Here is Aunt Kimmy and Lilly listening to the opening band.

Not wanting to miss a single thing, Lilly found her way to the front early on. She didn't move all night!

Lilly hugging her Aunt Kimmy and trying to be patient while waiting for Train to take the stage.

Trainette

Here is the lead singer of Train, Pat Monahan. He is energentic and entertaining. Lilly enjoyed watching him. She sang along to the songs louder than anyone around.
Here is a quick video of the performance. You can hear Lilly singing at the very beginning. Train's #1 groupie! If you look closely you will see a girl you recognize standing on stage right in front of Pat Monahan. He had security pull up a group of girls and called them Trainettes, his back up singers. Since we were so close and it was obvious that Lilly was the #1 fan, security couldn't help but put her up on stage. Once on stage though, Lilly looked like she was going to freak out.

Here you see all the girls singing their hearts out, and Lilly about to jump off the stage.

Trainette, Part 2

Lilly doesn't look quite as frightened. The girls around her are shaking their tails, while Lilly sways a little.

The concert was loud, so it was hard to hear Lilly. Here are her thoughts as translated by mommy: Hhmm...maybe this guy is kind of cool. He can sing after all!

Cracked a smile. OK, now I am having some fun.

Yahoo...this is super cool. I am a rock star!

It's official...Train gives me high fives. I think I am now in the band! In the words of Rapunzel, "Best Day Ever!"

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Lilly has been asking to get a haircut for some time now. She said she wanted it short, just like mommy's and Quincy's hair. I wasn't really sure she would go through with it, but here it is: cute, adorable, and she just loves it! Good bye knots!!

Snowing...again

Yes...it is snowing again! Despite the snow, we went for a jog in the stroller this weekend and stopped at the park for some playtime. The kids enjoyed getting their sillies out. Lilly especially liked riding her "horse".

Football Jammies

Lilly got a pretty new jammie set...a red nightgown with a matching robe. She has worn it pretty much every night since she got it; however at first she misunderstood the purpose of having 2 pieces. She just assumed that the robe was meant for her brother, so being a generous big sister, she put the robe on Davis. Much to our surprise he really liked it! But not to worry...it is much more masculine to wear a robe while playing football!

Skiing Princess?

Mommy and Davis

Quincy & Lilly

Lilly, Quincy, and big sister Elliot

Today was a busy day. Aunt Kimmy is visiting from NY so Lilly, Davis, Mommy, and Aunt Kimmy all went skiing together in Beaver Creek. Mommy only got a picture of Davis and Mommy because Lilly and Aunt Kimmy were so super fast! After skiing Lilly, Mommy, and Aunt Kimmy went to the Bookworm in Edwards to meet the author of Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots? Lilly got all princessed up and enjoyed the author's reading of the book, not to mention her BFF, Quincy, was there to share in all the princess activities. Then Lilly went home with Quincy for a sleep over! Whew...and the day is not even over yet!
