May 14th was Durbin Day in Santa Cruz to welcome home our American Idol, James Durbin. He happens to be the fiancee of one of Dylan’s former preschool teachers–a sweet, sweet, gal–so we have been especially psyched for all of them that he made it as far as he did on AI!
Plans for Durbin Day were nearly scrapped when he didn’t make it into the top 3, but through some exception, AI let James Durbin come home!
I wanted to be part of the numbers to show our support for Heidi’s family, but it was also an excellent excuse to take the kids to the Boardwalk.
Yes, some people came to see James Durbin, but others (look at that sweet face in the picture!) came for the Cave Train!
We managed to squeeze a hair cut in for Dylan prior to the Boardwalk festivities. He’s modeling the new ‘do here.
We hooked up with HAT to make it extra fun for the kids. Things are always more fun when you have company your size around…right?
When it came time to see James Durbin — the concert actually started much later than expected — the kids grew somewhat restless. But, as you can see, Cameron got a better view of the stage than I did!
Well, she had a better view until we put her back in the stroller. After that, it was back to staring at backsides and legs…or, alternatively, looking up at the sky ride.
And what was up there? I think these folks actually had the best seats in the “house!” Dylan decided he wanted to ride this thing, too. Lucky for me, Tom volunteered to take him.
As per usual, we took our cue to leave from the kids. When Cameron was set to go, we headed out. End of fun day!
