CELTIC THUNDER!

Sometimes, a girl's got to go out with her girlfriends. Especially to a Celtic Thunder concert. DOO DOO DOO!

Having attended a Celtic Thunder concert two years ago, we were ready to see another! In spite of the crazy traffic, Keely drove us safely there. (Thanks, girlie!)

Talking, laughing, and singing, we were eager to get there, but we enjoyed the companionship on the ride. We speculated about this concert compared to the last one... and we listened to STORM. We were also excited to have Nicole with us on this trip.

At last we made it! We took pictures around the Benedum Center... mused about the big city.

And waited in line to get in to hear our favorite boy band.

Don't we look excited?

After making it inside the beautiful Benedum Center, we purchased our programs.

And proceeded to devour them. Full of facts, pictures, and the order of the concert, the souvenir programs are worth every penny.

Then the concert began, we screamed. We yelled. We sang along. And we loved every moment of it. There were old favorites (Desperado), new favorites (A Place in the Choir), and songs soon to become a favorite (Cat's in the Cradle & You've Got a Friend in Me). 

After the concert was over, we were walking back to our vehicle, when we saw them. The band! Wow! Keely and Kelsie were brave enough to enter the throng to get autographs. Yay!

 Can you find Ryan, Keith, George, Keely, and Kelsie in these photos?

All in all, a completely delightful evening. Again next year? Yes, please.
