The Piano Guys

We are fans of The Piano Guys around here.  If you don't know who they are, go to YouTube and look up some of their stuff - our favorites include Cello WarsHappy Together and Rockelbel's Canon.

For Callie's birthday she had the choice between a birthday party at home with a bunch of friends or doing something away from home with a smaller group.  She chose to spend a good chunk of time with her best friend, Meghan.  We thought of a lot of ideas, and settled on the PERFECT THING.  It meant waiting several weeks, but I think she would say it was worth it.

We ate dinner at The Pizza Factory
 because they have yummy, yummy breadsticks.
 Then, we went to attend this outdoor concert:
 Notice anything peculiar about the picture?  There are lots of umbrellas & ponchos.
 Waiting for the concert to begin we got rained on a bit.
 It made for a beautiful sunset.

 In the middle of the concert - between rain showers.
The Piano Guys had a tent to protect their instruments during the three or four times it rained during the concert.  We stayed fairly comfortable under jackets, blankets & on a tarp.  They did end the concert just a little early because the rain came back with a vengeance.  However, it ended during their encore and as we were leaving look who we bumped into!!!

All in all, a pretty sweet (and adventurous) evening.
