dave left for vegas on wednesday morning, october 15th. so not to be out done, the boys, tina and i decided to take a trip of our own. we all loaded in the car and headed to holland. ok, so it was holland, michigan, but still.
fireflight was in town to play a smaller show at a church so we all went over since we haven't seen jessica and justin since the beginning of september.
mom was already there with rainah since don was in the hospital and jenn was staying with him. but a little before the show started jenn was able to get out for a bit and see the show with us.
during the entire sound check talan was rocking out by air drumming and head banging. he was amazing. for whatever reason i wasn't thinking and i never got it on tape...but jessica did get some video of it so maybe one day she can get it to me and i can post it.
we stood in the back when the show started but talan kept trying to run up front where there was a huge crowd of people. eventually i was able to find the perfect place for us...right up front and directly in front of justin. i held talan for the entire show and he barely moved. when justin is on stage he doesn't bother to dance, he simply stares at justin. when justin moves, talan's follows him.
at one point justin had his hands in the air clapping and apparently talan thought justin was waving to him so he stuck his little hand up and waved until justin finally saw him and gave a little wave back.
hayden always enjoys the show but not the way talan does. he watched for awhile and then started playing his video game. when he found us up front he did sit with us for awhile before heading back out to the lobby to find mom and jessica.
we ended up staying for awhile after the show was done and then finally put the boys in their pj's and headed out. we didn't get home until probably around 1am but hayden still managed to get up, ready and head to school the next morning. he even ended up getting a green light at school despite the lack of sleep!
it was great finally being able to see jessica and justin again (i think hayden was more excited to see dawn though...no offense guys!) and we were excited that we would get to see them once again on sunday.
