Chasing Campbell: Nawna's Birthday Weekend

We had been trying to think of something fun to do for Nawna's birthday weekend and thought a weekend in Fredricksburg would be a good place for us all to meet. Cody and I were making all these plans when we finally decided we needed to check with Kim to see if she was even available that weekend!! We wanted Uncle Josh and Bri to be available too. Come to find out Josh and his band had a concert in Dallas that weekend at the Granada Theater!

Jones slept till 10 for me the morning we were to leave...score! We packed up and waited for Cody to get home from work!

We got to Dallas about 3. I scored a great deal on Priceline for the Omni in Dallas. It had a pretty great view. When we got there, there was probably 1,000 women in the lobby. We were thinking this might take awhile to check-in. Luckily, a hotel staff lady saw our big eyes and pointed us to a small line. They were having a Mary Kay convention and there was pink everywhere! Now I know why I got such a great deal:)

We met Kim and Bri at the hotel, got ready and met my sisters at a restaurant across from Granada theaters. Uncle Josh got to meet us for a quick bite after they did a quick sound check. We prepped Jones for "what to expect." He has been wanting to see his Josh-a-roo perform for awhile but they have never played anywhere we could really bring Jones. This was the perfect place to get a 3 year old in:). I think the age limit was 10 but they let J in luckily. We got there at 7 and waited around till 9 for Josh to come on. We put ear plugs in J's ear and kept him entertained! Josh took him back stage for a mini tour and he loved it!

Out came The Rocketboys!

The look on Jones' face when Josh came out on stage, under the bright lights was priceless! He reached for my phone and started taking pictures. Josh looked up in mid song once and gave jones a smile and Jones squealed. He was so proud of his Uncle!

Then he just stared at them for 30 minutes, in awe.

At one point Jones yelled, "Josh, hey Josh," and it was loud enough for half the room to look back and see who the dude with the little voice was. When they realized it was a 3 year old everyone smiled and awed.

After 30 minutes he turned around and wrapped his arms around me. I sat down with him and he fell asleep with some loud music. He was a champ and so very proud of his Josh-a-roo!

I'm sure everyone was wondering why we had a 3 year old out so late at a concert but it was a once in a lifetime experience and he loved every minute of it!

The next morning we all slept till 11. Check out was at 11 so we scurried out as fast as we could! We took Nawna to YO Steakhouse and she took us to the Dallas World Aquarium! It was pretty neat. Jones was just interested in the sharks!
