Saturday April 16

Yesterday was a big day for us. We took Ally to her first concert. We went to the Brattle Theater in Harvard Sq to see Elizabeth Mitchell, our favorite children's singer perform in person. It was AMAZING. I can't actually think of how it could have been better. The concert lasted about an hour - they had popcorn to buy, we also bought her newest cd and a concert T-shirt for Ally. It was a small theater so we were only about 15' from the stage and she sounded just like she does on the albums. Her 10 year old daughter, her husband and 2 other musicians performed with her. The best part was at the end when she asked for requests for 1 last song and I yelled out Pio - please sing Pio and got a lot of quizzical stares, until Becky finally yelled Los Pollitos, which is the real name of the song, we just call it Pio in our house. And they played it. It was simply magical to hear our favorite family song performed live.


Ally and mommy on the way to the concert. It was certainly a cold blustery day.

All of us in our seats waiting for the show to begin.
Doesn't get much better than good music, popcorn and the people you love most!


Later in the day we made a trip to the mall and just happened to run in to the Easter Bunny! Ally said she did want to get her picture taken with him.


She smiled big, but would not sit any closer than this!

All in all a pretty great day.

That sounds like a great time. I know the Pio song. Los pollitos dicen pio pio pio...

We were off to our first Breakers game of the season. It was a lot of fun too. We got to see Liz, our new friend, play.
