Southern Ground Music and Food Festival

For the past three years, the girls and I have gone to Charleston for our favorite concert of the year.  The guys play for two nights at Blackbaud Stadium and Railey and Maysie love playing backstage, watching music and of course spending time with Daddy.

This year, we stayed at a hotel and the girls were beyond excited to sleep on air mattresses for three nights.  On Friday, we made it just in time to watch soundcheck and all of the kids ran around the empty field to get some of the travel energy out of their system.  No surprise that Stacey managed to capture my favorite shot of the weekend in the first five minutes that we were there…

Before the music started, there were plenty of activities for the kids.

Kite Flying

Bike Riding

Sidewalk Chalk

Maysie's favorite…playing with Uncle Stork

And there was even a ferris wheel!  It gave me so much anxiety that I am scarred for life….

I had to include this picture…a signature piece by Aunt Garrett!

And once it was showtime, these kids got a front row seat to it all to watch their favorite…the Zac Brown Band!

Sweet Maysie was ready to go back to the "show and tell" aka, the hotel, before the concert even started.

So I took her up on stage for some QT with Uncle Stork…that did the trick.

The highlight of Railey's weekend came when Daddy took her to meet Clare Bowen who plays Scarlett O'Connor on the series Nashville after she performed with Zac.

And a close second was when she got to toss t-shirts to the crowd.

The next night, Maysie got her turn up on stage to toss some shirts.  My brave girl walked all the way out into the crowd!

Until next year…when I will have THREE little ones!
