After some waffling, Rachel and I took the kids to their first real concert in September. It was also an informal introduction to tailgating. I’m calling it a rousing success even though it was a country band, and on a school night no less.
We rolled with Bojangles chicken and biscuits, cold beverages, my custom-made Detroit Lions cornhole set (hat tip to Steve Sutherland), and a football. The weather was perfect, and the Zac Brown Band put on a respectable show.
I think Nathan enjoyed everything about the concert experience except the music, but it’s a great memory all the same.
Update: A few months later, Vivian and the rowdy Lucas girls were treated to a Taylor Swift concert by the moms. Nathan and I were, regretfully, unable to attend.
