Levitate Music Festival 2018

I was surprised when Coco inquired into Levitate.  I didn’t think he enjoyed himself all that much last year.  It was more like he tolerated it.  But I guess having a girl you like interested in going helps.  And then ending up going with 3 ladies probably made the decision a slam dunk.
     He knew our friend had offered passes in the past.  He was really fired up when our friend came through.  He organized his crew.  He went and picked up the tickets.  He got his older brother to drive them to the fairgrounds.  He even walked all the way home with his friends.  They spent a solid 6-7 hours at the music festival.  I don’t think these bands are in Coco’s wheelhouse either.  But I think he like walking around the food trucks, crafts tents and stages.
     Demi and I were happy to have the crew back to our house after.  They ordered a pizza and hung out for a while.  It ended a bit earlier than I would have guessed but a good day for Coco.  I did like to see that.

July 4th 2018

Happy Independence Day, folks!  It is another day where Demi and I have an annual talk with the boys.  We tell them we want to know their plans, where they plan to be, and when they plan to be home (or to sleepover).  We tell them that we worry about other people.  It is a time of year where there tends to be a spike in impaired driving and poor decision making.  Caz got a taste of it one year when he was stopped by police three times in one night.  We tell them we love them and we want them to be safe.  Simple.
     I think they understand it too.  Of course Caz has to work for 9 hours of the holiday.  It means time and half though.  He went out after work.  But he let me know when he would be home.  Well after a little prompting anyway.
     Have a happy and a safe 4th of July.  Hope you are spending it with loved ones and enjoying your time together.
