Wilsonville :)

I got to visit my sister and her family a few weeks ago in Oregon and had a blast at the zoo, OMSI, and just hanging out in Wilsonville! It was great to see them as well as Ronda, Keagan, Kade and Cruz :)

Emily got her face painted at OMSI

Emily and Kade - they have the same look going on

Emily and I exchanged nail paintings

Emily took her turn at picture taking - the following are hers

Ellen's post : watching her fish

As you can see Emily enjoyed taking pictures of herself - these are just the ones that came out.

She got one of Ellen looking like a barbarian

Can't forget Grandma and Papa

Ahhhhh! the "Pink Queen" a mask from my mexican wrestling days. Ok not really. I just attended the matches.

Ah yes we even got to go to the coast!

Enlarge this and you will see a very determined Emily

Sand butt

Ellen just liked to cover herself

My Bonnaroo

Ingrid Michaelson - One of my favorites!
Ozomatu - One of the more fun groups who actually came into the crowd and played. They are in the movie "Never Been Kissed" where Drew is in the bar - a band is playing (fun fact).

Damien Marley and Nas

When we actually got close...

Bonnaroo!

I spent last Wednesday through Monday in Manchester, TN at a lovely place called Bonnaroo. My pictures were not the greatest so I decided to find some online and share those with you instead. Also I am hoping to get some from friends who I went with - they had a nice camera. Bonnaroo went like this: arrive in Walmart parking lot around 12am and set up camp on "Thursday" morning. Hear around 1245am that people are being let into Bonnaroo and immediately pack up and get into line on freeway by 145am. Pull into camping space just after 4am and set up camp. I was there with 4 other people we had 3 tents and 2 pop-up awning things. Just in time for the sun to come up and raise the temperature to 85 (then to around 100 each day) we were in bed).

B.o.B
Jay-Z

Weezer

The endless and always fun line at the port-o-potty's who knew that people would actually wait in line for these things!

The main stage also called "Which Stage" where people like The Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder performed. As you can see when 100,000 people show up at bonnaroo, it gets crowded.

We ended up seeing around 27 bands in the 4 days...here is my list:

The Postelles, Here We Go Magic, Miike Snow, The Temper Trap, The XX, The Gaslight Anthem, Damian Marley and Nas, OK Go, Les Claypool, Kings of Leon, The Flaming Lips performing darkside of the moon, The Black Keys, LCD Soundsystem, B.o.B, The Avett Brothers, The Dead Weather, Weezer, Ozomatli, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Ingrid Michaelson, Calexico, Regina Spektor, Against Me!, Dropkick Murphys, Phoenix, and The Dave Matthews Band.
