We started our morning off with a bowling birthday party at the Blue Hen Lanes in Newark in celebration of Amanda's 6th birthday. We also used the opportunity to have a belated friend-party for Alex's 10th.
We were the only birthday party there that morning and were allowed to spread out a bit more than usual. Plus, the staff was able to focus more attention on our party. In the end, everyone had a great time and Amanda was able to avoid doing the Chicken Dance...which she was very nervous about...for some reason.An album of all the pictures can be viewed by clicking here.
From there I was off to cut the back yard...which hadn't been cut in 4 weeks. Yes, 4 weeks. Hey, I had a bunch of Cicada Killer wasps back there: They're scary.
After that, it was time for a little bit of Mommy and Daddy time as we made our way to Philly for the Keith Urban concert. Aside from getting some beer spilled on me from the crazed woman behind me, it was a perfect night with us getting a great parking spot, having good seats, seeing The Wreckers open, and Keith putting on a great show. He played for nearly 2 1/2 hours and is a great entertainer. One of the biggest surprises of the night was when the UD Marching Band Drumline appeared on stage to assist with I Told You So.
