The Sweetest Thing

Yesterday was a day I will never forget

to see one of the greatest bands ever

playing right in my backyard

the day started off with rain rain and more rain

I did not take my camera so the shots I am using

are from my phone and from friends

these are shots of the venue around 11am 

notice all the green grass and keep in mind that 

this will be an official before picture!

So off we went around 3 ~ showtime was 6ish so that 

would give us plenty of time to park at friends and

walk the 1 1/2 miles to the gates

this is not us but it could have been ~ it was miserable

rain ponchos, backpacks and rubber boots

I was stylin'

in the line-up ~ oh the anticipation

 

we made it through the gates onto the field

now was time to pick the perfect spot

not too close but not too far away = not too bad!

thankfully the rain stopped and we put down our tarps

and settled in to wait for the show

this is our crew

BIL Scott, Trevor, the best neighbors in the world

Colin & Cathy and friends Mac & Marina

a blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl

ah ah ah the sweetest thing

crowds really starting to come in now

between acts we were treated to a fly over by 2

Canadian Forces F-18's

it was pretty spectacular and they went over 3 times

a couple more shots of the crowd while

Arcade Fire was playing

taken by a friend that was in the grandstands

 

then came the headliner ~ the crowd went wild

I can tell you ~ it was amazing

we sang and danced and clapped and cheered

I have always liked U2's music ~ but Trev was the diehard fan

I am pleased to say that this concert made me a true fan

now remember that before shot ~ this is what the field turned into

in the high traffic areas so getting around was quite a challenge

you would not believe the people I saw in sandals

and some in heels

I have to shake my head ~ it had rained buckets all day

you are going to a FIELD

and you are wearing cute little wedges

give that girl a prize!!

I wore these and this is what they look like today

I did take my sneakers for the walk back to the car 

and after we hit pavement I changed footwear

those boots were not made for walking!

Bono said that he felt right at home with all the rain

they were pretty impressed with Moncton

and we were too ~ over 75,000 strong

despite the rain it was still

A Beautiful Day!!

Today the weather was gorgeous

I hurt all over

I am running on not much sleep

but I am still smiling and singing along

with the boys from Dublin.

Thank goodness it is a long week-end

and I have tomorrow off!

Happy Sunday
