I wouldn't dare take Max and Tessa to a concert hall at their age, but this outdoor concert was perfect for them to hear the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The drunk couples behind us made a lot more noise than we did, Max wasn't the kid with the light saber running behind the stage hitting the musicians cases, or the 10 year olds doing stupid dances in front of the violinists, so I would have to say that my kids were extremely well behaved. The music was beautiful, and Max was excited to hear the cellos. We also got a good laugh as the conductor (not Jaap van Zweden the new supposedly amazing conductor) tried to announce directions for the different countries the pieces came from. "And now we'll go north of Russia to a country called China" etc., etc. And me, well, it made me really really really really miss music.
The weather and scenery were perfect. Obviously this picture doesn't show it, because I still don't know how to use my camera, but trust me, it was beautiful.
Thanks Anthony and April for inviting us, it was great. (Although I'm fairly certain we were only invited after another couple flaked since we were called 40 minutes before the concert started. I'm okay with second choice though...just glad we got to go.)
