This year is our 10th annual trip to the gorge to see my beloved band, Dave Matthews Band. It was a tough year for the band and for fans. They lost their amazing sax player, LeRoi and it was definitely the most emotional concert for the band (their first shows after the funeral) and I was crying on and off throughout the night. They've been a part of my life for a long time that it's like losing a very close friend, just a sad tragedy. Aden even asked me multiple times where LeRoi's at, since he knows every single one of the band member. Try explaining that to a 2-year old...
Every year, I keep telling myself that this is the last year we'll take Aden to the shows, but every time we're at the show, he does so well and EVERYONE around us just loves seeing Aden. This year was the craziest year, people wanted to touch Aden, high-five him and just talks to him. It's cool to see people try to protect Aden and would even call his name throughout the concert. People would take pictures of Aden, which was random. We've also gotten lots of offers to take our pictures, although it was hard since Aden was so mesmerized with seeing Dave upclose that he won't look in the camera. Maybe one of these years, we'll be able to get a backstage pass having Aden around....Shots from Sunday night show:
