DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE!

Anybody who knows Claire and Ayden know who this is...oh yes, in the flesh...Nat and Alex Wolfe from the infamous Naked Brothers Band!! It really was a dream come true for the kids! We have told them for the past 3 years that if there ever was an opportunity, we would take them to see their favorite band in concert.
Let me first tell you, that we almost missed it!! Sunday morning Jason opened up the newspaper and hands it to me with a knowing face...."Nat and Alex Wolfe will perform at HersheyPark Ampitheater today at 4 and 6:30" WELL, did we even have a choice? NO WAY. So at 10 am we packed up lunches, bought some tickets to the park and off we went on a Naked Brothers Band pilgrimage!
Let me also say this, I have NEVER waited in line for ANY concert, EVER. I have now. The doors opened at 3:00 and were general admission seats only, SOOOOO I started standing in line between 1 and 1:30!! Yes, I know...we went a little overboard, BUT we got some good seats, darn it!
The kids were in awe! Seriously we were eye level with Nat on stage (about the 4th or 5th row, center!) Once Claire got over her star struckeness, she had a great time dancing, woo-hooing, and participating in everyway she could!
Ayden loved it, but as you can imagine played it very cool. He observed and studied their every move in hopes that one day girls will be screaming for him as they were for Alex and Nat! He REALLY loved it and was very into the clapping and holding rock-n-roll hands in the air after a good song:)
And yes, for those of you asking whether or not Jason and I had a good time! Honestly, the performance was very good. These kids really have talent. THe music was great and their show was very genuine.

ROCK ON!


Jason took a short video with the camera...I can't flip it in the right direction, plus Jason flips it during the video? not sure why? Anyway...enjoy!
