Sugarland & (supposed to be) Leann Rimes Concert!

Last night Kevin and I headed down to the amphitheater at The Wharf to catch the Sugarland & Leann Rimes concert~ Love on the Inside Tour. We enjoyed a nice dinner at The Rafters and then headed over to the concert. The concert was supposed to start at 8:00, but at 7:45 a huge rain storm passed through & delayed the start of the concert until 10:40! The rain only last about 45 minutes to an hour, but it took the crew a little while to try and dry the stage. They worked for about an hour on Leann Rimes' set & finally at 10:00 an announcement was made that due to a "curfew" (a ridiculous one to us!) that Leann Rimes would not be coming out to sing so they started taking her equipment off the stage & started setting up for Sugarland, which took another 40 minutes. Why the crew was working on the Leann Rimes set for an hour knowing (I think they were the only ones who knew about this curfew!!!) about the curfew and not taking that time to set up for Sugarland remains a mystery to me. So Sugarland came out and rocked the stage for an hour and 20 minutes, and it was great! Kevin and I really enjoyed our "date" night & a big thanks to my sister & mom for helping out with the boys. We finally arrived home at 1:30 a.m.!

Our attempt to take a picture!


Yes, this would be all that we saw of Leann Rimes. We did see her tour bus leave while the crew was setting up for Sugarland!


Jennifer Nettles & Kristian Bush a.k.a. Sugarland! They were great and well worth the 2 hours & forty minute rain delay!


P.S. Kevin had been telling the boys about our "date" night and how he was going to "kiss" me when we got home. Well I had no idea he told the boys that and this morning as I talked with Connor on his way to school he whispered into the phone "Did daddy kiss you last night?". It was so sweet and quite funny too! He made my day!
