Colton Dixon / Third Day Concert

Lawson has a new phrase she uses a lot..."I didn't see THAT coming!"
 And this afternoon...was definitely one those of times!  I picked up the kids from school as usual...they were eating a snack...and Rob called me to see if we wanted to go to the Josh Wilson/Colton Dixon/Third Day concert at Verizon Arena THAT night.  The concert promoters had contacted Rock Creek looking for an Emcee and Rob was available.  So, that meant free 7th Row tickets for us AND back stage access to meet the bands!  We had to be there early...so I  got off the phone...asked the kids if they wanted to finish their snacks, put their shoes back on and go to a Colton Dixon concert!  They were like...WHAT???!!!














Our kids love music and always enjoy live music.  But, because we don't miss American Idol they know who Colton Dixon is and are big fans of his.  So, this unexpected treat was HUGE to them!





Rob did a great job kicking off the concert!




Colton was really good.  The kids loved him.  He is really talented and I love how he is using his gift to point the next generation and this one...to the Lord!
Third Day is forever cool and forever young!  Love them! And their heart! We had to leave about halfway through their performance to get the kids in bed before 10pm!  Yikes!




Colton's sister, Skylar, who also auditioned for AI...but didn't make it to the top 10 sang a song with Colton.  She was sitting out in the crowd a few seats down from us after she sang...Lawson spotted her.  She wanted to go meet her and ask for her autograph during intermission. 


Hudson ONLY wanted her autograph...not his pic made with her!  Funny!     
 I'll leave you with a few video clips to enjoy!
