Jenny On the Spot

On July 29th I took the kids to see my favorite local live band, The Retros , and 80\’s cover band. They did an afternoon concert in Bellevue. We went with my sis-in-law, nephew, 2 of my friends and thier 3 kids. It was a warm and beautiful day. The court yard had a water fountain (of sorts) that kept us all cool and kept the kids from running into the traffic! In the picture (taken by The Retros, and located on their site), Joel and Cole seem to be focused on the entertainment, while Olivia has other things on her mind. There were funnier dancing moments, but I thought it was neat that the cousins are all picutred together….

The last night we were in Minnesota we went to dinner with my Dad\’s family. Olivia wandered about singing, \”Love Shack, Baby, Love Shack…\” and finished with, \”We Got the Beat\”. I love 80\’s music. The Retros give me a live taste of this music. When I cook, when I clean I usually play my 80\’s tunes. My kids know this music., and it seems they know it a little too well. My aunt said, \”She\’s singing roller rink music!\” That\’s my influence, and yep, I\’m so hip… Couples skate anyone???
