West Fest 2013

Oh West Fest - so much fun and just right in our own backyard! We headed up Friday at 11 and didn't come home until after 4pm!

 

Saturday Matt and I had a memorial to go to so Olivia braved it and took the girls up to see Caspar Babypants play.

The girls spent all day - 11-4 again - riding rides, dancing, eating, hanging out, and jumping from one bouncy house to the next.

Dylan came home at 4 and instantly was on her Dad to take her back up - as 'he hasn't seen it yet'.  So back up we went - let's just say we got the most out of our weekend wrist band!

And we closed the place down. 

On Sunday we took a trip out to Yakima.  Dylan was little bummed to miss the fair but was a trooper for an adventure.  We made it back to Seattle by 5 - and the first words out of D's mouth - "can we run up to the fair - please!"  So Matt and D ran up to hit the last hour of rides.  A few minutes later they were back with super long faces and D crying "I missed out on all the fun!"  Didn't realize the rides closed an hour before the fair did - our bad.  Wont be making that mistake again!

HEAVEN

Oh someone was in HEAVEN last night.  Not only did she get to rock out with all her girlfriends to her idol, Caspar Babypants but she got her photo with him after the show.  You can clearly see how giddy she was - notice hand sweetly on his neck and huge grin.

A Couple of Groupies

Today Dylan and I met our friends, Olive, Momma Kelly, and Baby Clover at the Beacon Hill Library for a special Caspar Babypants performance. Dylan and Olive are couple of groupies for sure. They were the first to stand up and dance, and last to leave! The girls were in heaven! Dylan's friend Ella was there as well and join the girls for a few songs. The girls started about 1/2 way back but worked their way up front in no time. At one point I could hear Dylan yelling the lyrics to a song. It was a fun show and the girls had a fabulous time!

Video's coming soon.

West Fest - Caspar Babypants

This past weekend was the West Seattle Street Festival and you should have heard the shrieks coming from one little girls mouth when she caught wind that Caspar Babypants was performing Friday night!  So after work we quickly had dinner and headed up the street.  It didn't take long for Dylan to wiggle her way to the front of the toddler moshpit - yes, that's her front and center with the big ol' smile on her face.  

After a few songs the moshpit decided to rush the stage - and look out toddlers everywhere!

Dylan was in all her dancing glory! Big smile on her face the entire time. A few times she came and found me to tell me what song Caspar was playing, just in case I wasn't paying attention. Later that night Matt caught up with us and Dylan says to him "Dad, I just saw my favorite performer ever!".

To Caspar, If You're Watching

Well if you've been following the blog for a while, you'll know that Dylan is Caspar Babypant's biggest fan.  So when the new cd came out "hot dog" Dylan marched right up to Easy Street Records and had to get her picture taken (this was painted on the side of the building).  Dylan already knows all the songs by heart (and so do we!).  There is one song about whales.  Dylan says to me "Mom, I know everything there is to know about whales - one is named Sam, one is Chuck, one, is Phil...".  I just smiled and agreed.

Rocking Out With Caspar Babypants

With G-ma Montana in town we were looking for some fun things to do - wait, what's this? Caspar Babypants is performing - stop the press, we're there! Yes, G-ma Montana and Poppa Matt got to experience Dylan in all her dancing glory. Watch out, 'cause the girl got those little cowboy boots of her a moving!!

"Like A Teenager At A Michael Jackson Concert"

The other day Dylan and I went to see Caspar Babypants preform at our local community center. Dylan has been listening to Caspar Babypants since she was a peanut. She has every cd he has out and is one of his biggest fans. So when I found out he was playing here in West Seattle we were there! We nabbed great seats on the floor and got ready to rock out with our friends. As soon as the music started Dylan began cheering, clapping, dancing, and hooting like to quote my friend's husband 'Dylan looks like a teenager at a Michael Jackson concert'. I thought that summed it up perfectly! She was one crazy fan, for sure! And of course everyone around us was cracking up!



D danced so hard that she had to take a snack break. As she snacked she noticed the babies around her looked hungry so she took it upon herself to feed them pretzels - only the babies mind you!
