Saturday was a beautiful day. The weather was absolutely perfect!

SAM_0384

There must have been 8000 people there. Easy.

I was amazed at how many people came out considering that the event overlapped the Wichita River Festival and the Smoky Hill River Festival.

SAM_0407

I had to take a picture of the smoking tent with all of the hay bales surrounding it. Nonsmokers Brian and I found it quite amusing. LOL.

SAM_0408

Just goofing around, taking random pictures during the intermission…

SAM_0412

We listened to the music as the sun set in the distance. It was truly a feast for the senses. I’m so grateful that Brian and I got to experience it. Finally.

The Symphony in the Flint Hills was awesome. I would totally do it again.

Symphony in the Flint Hills 2011

Bebot got a major workout this weekend. 300 miles worth. And on some crazy, winding dirt roads at that. Max took us on a wild ride through uncharted territory.

SAM_0351

No this is not Brian showing off his new found muscles. He’s putting on some sunblock.

SAM_0353

I have no idea why he decided to wear black.

SAM_0354

Here’s a photo of this year’s Symphony site.

SAM_0359

Pre-concert photo.. People not yet in their lawn chairs.

SAM_0361

Another pre-concert photo.. Brian and I, just killing time.

SAM_0364

Brian eventually got hot and changed into his white shirt. I think he just wanted to show off his leaner, sexier body. Guys always find reasons to take their shirts off.

SAM_0369

Brian made some new friends.

SAM_0371

We met these folks on Friday during our volunteer day and then ran into them again on Saturday in the parking lot. We decided to all sit together.

SAM_0374

People are starting to show up. Getting closer to showtime.

SAM_0372

Don’t ask. He told me it was to block the sun. Whatever.

SAM_0375

BTW, you can rent chairs at the site so you don’t have to lug around your lawn chair. It can be quite a trek from the parking lot to the actual concert site. The nice thing about the rental chairs is that you don’t have to take them back. You just leave them at the end of the show. That to me is well worth the $2 chair rental fee.

SAM_0378

Almost show time…

SAM_0379

Alright. It’s 11 o’clock and officially past my bed time. I guess this is all for now. I will fill you in on more stuff and share more pictures later. Good night, all!

Brian and I are looking forward to checking out Symphony in the Flint Hills. It’s this huge annual event that we’ve heard about for years, but have never ever participated in. I’m not sure what to expect, but I’m really looking forward to it.

P.S. This photo was taken by Jan using her iPhone.

Brian is a Dirty Old Man

Posted on June 10, 2011 by under Things to Do.    

Brian got super dirty working at Fix Pasture today. We were helping to set up the Symphony in the Flint Hills event this weekend.

Here are some photos I took of him on the drive home…

You can’t tell how very dirty he is in this photo, but we both immediately showered as soon as we got home because we were both in dire need of scrubbing. I looked really tan at the end of the day but, in reality, it was just dirt. LOL.

Bad Weather

This was before it started hailing. Yeah. I’m glad we are inside and dry.
