Dave Matthews Band

Mary and I went to the Dave Matthews Band concert last Wed 8/17! It was a total blast out under the stars at the Usana Amphitheater. They played a lot of songs I hadn't heard live before and one song that they have never played in front of anyone before. Still one of the best bands to see live! Just them and their instruments! I love it! I would put them up against any modern band that's out there today and the Dave Matthews Band would win hands down. Mary was very happy that they played the song "You and Me", which I think has become one of our songs and her favorite DMB song thus far. And I was happy that they played one of my new favorite songs "Why I Am" and payed tribute to their saxophone player who died almost two years ago. All in all it was an amazing concert!

Cricket Injury

For our current Coomans Family Home Evening we went to a local park and had a field day of sorts. Ross and I played badminton and he wore me out. Mary played catch with our cousin Dylan. And Spencer sat in the car because he didn't want to be there. Then came the time where my uncle Peter was going to teach everyone Cricket. Peter and his boys showed us how it's done and then said who's next? Mary and I got up there and I was first to bat. And in the the game of Cricket you have two batters up at the same time and when one gets a hit you run back and forth between two posts. Well I got a hit and started running to which Mary had to run as well. And as she approached the first post across from her, she slid into a small hole and injured her foot. She is fine. Her foot is still swollen and is bruised pretty good, but, she is fine. I think it's a fun game and my brother Ross got in on the act, which is way fun to see. But, I also see how dangerous it can be... when playing around gopher holes in the lawn anyway.
