Hail and Farewell and a musical delight

This after noon Sam's squadron had a hail and farewell family picnic.  It was nice meeting the people in his shop. They all seem pretty friendly and family oriented, which is nice. They had bouncy castles and we were right by the big splash pad.  They introduced everyone new in the squadron and bid farewell to those leaving. It was nice and we had a good time. 

Tonight our friends the Cliffords invited us to go to the MoTab Pioneer concert with them. We went to this yummy cheese steak place downtown. It was delicious. Kathy knows all the good places to eat and hasn't let me down with her dinning recommendations! They had scored these hard to get concert tickets from a friend who is as singer in the choir. They were great seats and it was awesome!!  We were sitting there talking and then all the sudden everyone stood up and went silent. We quickly realized someone important was coming in. It was President Monson! You have to understand I've never lived in Utah, so seeing any of the Apostles is exciting....but Pres Monson...thrilling! He was so cute and waved to the crowd before he took his seat.  The concert was amazing. The guest performers were great...in particular Nathan Pacheco.  He was unbelievable!!!!!  What a gorgeous voice. Man, I could have listened to him for hours. After we walked a little around City Creek. What a cool place! We had an awesome time.  We sure love those Cliffords. 

**let me just say......the built in babysitter stage is amazing. Sweet Aileen is a great babysitter and of course, she loves being" in charge"  :)**
