This month we got the privilege of seeing Australian Pink Floyd. Ben has seen them many times but for me this was a first. I was a little hesitant at first since i have never really been huge into Pink Floyd. When we heard they were coming we decided to get a ticket for Ben's Mom. I remember when her and i went to Idaho City for Dayton's Baseball game and she was telling me about when she saw Pink Floyd at the Egyptian Theater in Boise back in 1975, she told me all about her experience and how she really felt the music so we thought it would be a perfect surprise, so we bought the tickets. The day of the concert we went a picked up Merri Jo and to our surprise she was ready to go and out the door before we could even turn off the car :). So we let her pick where to eat and she was so excited she left it to us so we decided to go to Busters in Eagle. We had such a great time at dinner talking and Laughing. Then it was time to head to the concert.
We had such a great time at dinner talking and Laughing. Then it was time to head to the concert. This was a first for us all even Ben cause he had never gone to a concert with his mom and this was the first time the band did a concert at an outdoor venue. We pulled in Parked and headed up to the gate. As we approached there were people checking ID before you got to the gate so we all got our wristbands so we could get something to drink once we got in. We got there at a perfect time cause as we walked in it wasn't really that busy yet so we were pretty close to the stage. we layed our blanket out and then Ben and Merri Jo went to get us some drinks. And about the time they got back we sat and talked and sipped on our Margarita's while we waited for the concert to start.
When it started there was not "HELLO CHICAGO" type of welcoming to let you know they were ready.. they just started.. and it was amazing to me how everyone just stopped talking and watched in awww. If you know anything about Pink Floyd shows they have an amazing laser light show. so i was a little worried cause it wasn't quite dark yet. but it didn't take long. This one one moment i wouldn't have missed for a life time. I had such an amazing time with Ben and His mom. We were all relaxed and could just be ourselves. I feel like that moment was one where she truly saw me for who I am, and i can't wait to make more memories like this one with these 2 important people in my life.
Ben Before the Concert Started.. You can see how close we were
