OK so.........they FINALLY opened the gates and off Bridget and I went.......RUN FORREST RUN!!!! We got there and they had it roped off. No one could get up to the stage! We were like........WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT/????? OH HAIL NAW!!!! we were NOT happy Daisies!

So, up walks PAPA LOU.......CHAD'S DAD.........and we had to "express" that this just won't NEVA work......so he says i'll go see what I can do about this!

well, we were IN! SO...................we set up camp and got ready for an AMAZING show!!!!
we had our chairs out and blanket spread on the ground.



We met all of the families.........they are all so nice!!!!!
Lou and Grace, Lesley, (Chad's Sister)
((WE REALLY MISSED YOU TIA)), Mama Daisy (Virginia) and Charly (David's Sister)
((Missed you too Bev)) and Chelsea David's niece, Little Eli and Little Livvie G........Chad's kiddos........and Barb with little Dylan (David's wife and Daughter) aunts, uncles, cousins A-Z were all there and lovin' all over their hometown boys! FYI.............I WILL NOT BE POSTING PICS OF THE KIDDOS OUTTA RESPECT AND PRIVACY FOR THEM! SORRY.....NO CAN DO!

So, after lots of lovin' and huggin' and listening to Centerline open the show ((THEY WERE GREAT BY THE WAY))...............it was time for the boys to come out!

OH THEY HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME UP THERE!!!! They played for over two hours! it was an AMAZING show!!!!
oh yea at one point MR. GRACEFUL fell over one of the amp boxes and busted his ARSSSSS right there on the stage! I Had to laugh!!! it was pretty funny after we realized that he wasn't hurt!!! lol!!! WHAT??? IT WAS FUNNY!!!!
SO YEA he just layed there and continued to play! lol!!! I don't think Chad even realized what had happened until he saw him getting up. he just looked over and laughed too!!! At first it looked like he was just laying down taking a nap......but yea I saw him do it. I was scared he'd hurt himself for a minute.........youKNOW he does that pretty regularly! lol!
So, he gets up and takes off his over shirt and reveals his UK tshirt under neath! got a loud applause outta that one and proceeds to do the UK fight song.........C~A~T~S............it was GREAT!!!!!

A LITTLE CHAD SOLO SITTING ON THE STAGE! about 3 feet in front of us!

After the show, we went to the Waffle House for breakfast! While there.......Lesley and Rick came in. Mama and I sat there with them for over an hour talking. She kept saying we were NUTS!!! lol!!! She finally got it after talking to us!
We explained to her that it's not JUST about Chad and DAvid! it's about the relationships that have been made BECAUSE of them! It's the time that we're able to spend together and the love that we've developed for each other through the time that we have spent together.
She finally got it! and then she had big tears in her eyes and she told us how much she loved us! and was so thankful for us loving her baby brother the way we do!
I absolutely ADORE Lesley!!!!! she is so sweet!
