Cowboy Poetry

Last week Andrew got free tickets to Cowboy Poetry from his principal. We had never been but thought it would be fun to go, plus it was free so why not. Ben came up and babysat for us. I was a little nervous because Kenadi is in a super clingy stage- as in must be by me at all times preferably being held. Anyways, when we left the kids didn't even cry!! Probably because uncle Ben is pretty much their favorite, I think they could have cared less that we were gone. Ben said that they didn't cry at all for him, phew what a relief. Anyways, we saw Ian Tyson- he was...interesting... He lost his voice a couple of years back but continues to sing, so Im sure you can imagine how well that went. But, fortunately all the acts leading up to him were AWESOME!! The first act was Hot Club of Cowtown. They are described as western swing/ jazz, not exactly my favorite type of music, but let me tell you, they were incredible! We would go see them again in a heartbeat. There are three musicians and each of them are so talented. They are definitely masters of their instruments and extremely fun to watch. In the show they also had old cowboys recite poems, they were really good too! Most of them were all about being a cowboy and what not but it was fun. It was definitely a new experience and we are going to make it a yearly tradition now.It was nice to get out just the two of us (its been quite awhile since that has happened). And sorry, no pictures, we forgot to take a camera.
