I used to loooove this song when I was in highschool and listened to the CD over and over. When I heard Paula Cole was coming to Americana for a free concert I of course told Al I had to go. I'm so cool I got VIP tickets which meant we had a seat for the entire concert!!
Before the concert started I was asking myself I wonder where Paula Cole has been for the last 10 years? When she started singing all her new songs, dancing like a hippie, and calling us darling dears it all made sense where she has been the last 10 years. I think the drugs may have gotten to her brain and musical talent.
I was really hoping she would sing more of her old stuff, but that wasn't the case. She also didn't sing Where Have All The Cowboys Gone or I Don't Want To Wait until the very end which was so lame. I guess I shouldn't have high expectations for free concerts anymore.....
For Labor Day we spent the day with my Uncle John's family and his cute kids. Unfortunatley I only took one picture that entire day and it was of Savannah and Kyle with the pigs...lol
Oh wait and this picture of everyone playing volleyball except me. I like to be a spectator.
The highlight of my week was Al getting his haircut. We have a personal hair stylist cut Al's hair from our house...lol It is so professional Al takes his shirt off and ends up looking like Austin Powers. I'm so glad he doesn't really have a hairy chest like this.
Last weekend we went on a hike in Griffith Park called Ferndell. Apparently it's supposed to be this paved 1.5 mile trail with beautiful ferns and greenery hanging over the trail.
It started off that way
and we saw lots of Dragonflies.
Then the trail became dirt and we ended up hiking to the Observatory which is that white building at the top left of the picture.
It actually turned out to be a really cool hike. Not as Ferney (is that a word) as I expected, but it was fun.
Al, Me, Celia, Aaron and L.A. behind us.
We made it to the top and got to see them set up for some special performance for the VMAS. Too bad we weren't invited.
Back to the Ferns
Afterwards we went to this new Sno Cone Shop that just opened at the mall. I've been craving a sno cone from one of the many yummy sno cone shacks in Utah all summer and was so happy when I found out they put ice cream and sweetened condensed milk in the sno cones. This is the medium that Celia and Aaron got for $4. What a Deal!! The picture of Al and I didn't turn out cute like Celia and Aarons, so maybe I should just post a picture of our sno cone. I will definately be going back for many more Sno Cones. I'm over Pinkberry and onto Sno Cones!!
