Their first concert was in Anaheim, California to see Hannah Montana with The Jonas Brothers as her opening act. We made an entire day of it. Glam makeovers at Club Libby Lu in Downtown Disney, followed by shopping for concert outfits and lunch at The Rainforest Cafe. They got to stay in a fancy hotel downtown and enjoy some room service. It was a weekend they will never forget.
Six months ago I got the text..."Mom, the Jonas Brothers got back together, released an album and they are going to be in concert in Denver!" History has once again been made...ten years later!
We had an absolute blast at the concert. Reliving and laughing about old memories and making new ones. Apparently ten years ago at their first concert I made them wear ear plugs...I of course don't remember that but...you're welcome!
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I left my husband home alone with the dogs while the girls and I stayed out until 1:00 AM (which I am still feeling the pain of today...ugh).
I made sure my husband had a nice dinner to come home to, since I wouldn't be there. This was the text I received while waiting for concert to start....
This soup is outrageously good!! I am so glad I made a big batch because there is enough to have lunches and dinners for the next three days, since I am too tired from my concert night out to cook now!
