Day 61 A wonderful summer night.

This evening, my son and I set out to attend his first Concert on the Square.  We hit a downpour on the way, but at just the perfect time to stop in one of our favorite libraries that was just blocks away.  After both of use had an armful of new books to explore, the sun came back out and onward we went.  We made it just at the perfect time, as we hadn't brought a blanket, but found friends who we stopped by to say hello to.  His face was in awe as he was taking it all in...I believe they announced that there were over 20,000 people downtown in attendance.  We headed to a Starbucks for him to use the restroom and ended up with fruit and a cake pop for his dinner, discovering their little outdoor bistro table had a great place to watch/listen to the concert from!  After a few songs he was ready to walk, which is what we did, own to the Terrace to look out at a beautiful summer evening on one of Madison's wonderful lakes.  As we were passing the first planting of flowers, he ran over and posed, saying, "Mom, you can take as many pictures as you want tonight!"  Later, he took over the camera and had fun taking photos of the fountain, flowers and more too.  As we were driving home, watching the sunset, he told me that was the best evening.  Explaining next summer, we have to go to all of those (unless they are the singing ones) and make my sister come too!  How can a mom not be full of joy after a night like that.
