Fun fun fun, Kokomo, and a little Good Vibrations!


My Dad turned 25 for the 32nd time on Friday.  My brother and sis-in-law bought him Beach Boys tix and wanted to surprise him on his birthday.  We met at the 'rents house and waited for him to get home.  He was confused because his kiddos were there and he thought he was on his way to get a massage.  He was told to put on the clothes laid out on the bed (a new Hawaiian shirt from my Mom and some cargo shorts).  Of course, being my Dad, he put on the shirt and shorts (with tags still attached) and left his dress socks and shoes on... such a jokester.  Sorry I don't have a picture of that.
We loaded up in the burban and started our trek to the Woodlands at 4:30... holy traffic.  In the car, Stephanie (sis-in-law) videoed him opening a gift that included clues as to where we were going.  You can check that out here on her awesome blog... BEAUtiful Mess
Once arriving in the Woodlands, we met up at Baker's Street Pub with some other friends and family that were joining us for the concert, ate some dinner, then headed to the venue.  We camped out on the hill and enjoyed some good 'ol Beach Boys music.

The stadium was packed.  There were fifteen 60-70  year olds up on stage.
The group listening to some rad vibes.


Then, we could see the storm clouds rollin in.  We were mostly prepared with ponchos and bags to store our valuables in.  A couple of us enjoyed getting soaked and dancin in the rain (Steph).  They saved the best songs for last... the enchor consisted of
Kokomo, Surfin Safari, Barbara Ann, Rhonda, and Good Vibrations.

It was an amazing, fun-filled night that my Dad very much enjoyed.

Hi Julie! Your brother (who I call BBFT, don't ask) and Steph told me about your blog and I just wanted to say Hi and Happy Birthday! I've heard great things about you, and the rest of your family. I'm the crazy Ohio girl they went to visit in Ohio and in Florida. I hope to get to meet you sometime soon!

XO
