Re-entry

My hectic life was waiting for me when I got home. . . Saturday was supposed to be a set-up day for our big Warrant/Dokken show in Payette. Unfortunately, the promoters canceled the show on Wednesday due to low ticket sales and who-knows-what else. Fortunately, another show came up- Snake River Dayz out in Nampa. It was just a block over from the Nampa Nights park and we were hired by the Downtown Association and The Pix Theater. We arrived at 8:00 a.m. to set up the canopy and the sound system for a 12:00 start time. The first group up was the Irish Dancers that we have worked with several times before, most recently at the Cherry Festival:

The band for the afternoon was Made By Mom. They had a heavy-metal sound and sang quite a few really good originals. I was impressed.

The kids were already worn out from getting up early and going to bed late at camp all week so it was tough getting up early again!! I think Zach played a full 8 hours on his new Gameboy DS while he took care of Lucy:

Gloria wasn't too tired to enjoy the water slide that was just behind the stage. I think she spent a full 8 hours climbing up and sliding down:

The last group of the day was an acoustic drummer duo. They were really good but the hot, hot day drove away the crowd.

By the time we took everything down and packed it away, it was afer 6:00 p.m. We were tired, hot and hungry. We had dinner at JB's and went home. I was asleep by 10:00. We have to be at the fairgrounds to set up the canopy at 8:00 a.m. . . . another 6:45 a.m. wake up call. . .
