Stadium Of Fire

This year we got an amazing opportunity given to us from The American Diabetes Association. We were given 4 tickets to go to The Stadium Of Fire and 4 passes to meet The Jonas Brothers. It was an absolutely amazing night. I have never seen so many screaming teenage girls in my life however. It was so funny as we were waiting to go in to meet The Jonas Brothers there were girls coming out that had already got to meet them. As they would come out they would run over to other friends screaming "NICK TOUCHED ME!!!!". It was crazy to see how gaga these girls were over 3 boys, mainly Nick though. We had to wait in line for almost and hour and a half just to meet them. When we finally got back to meet them it went pretty fast. They took all our bags and camera from us, and then took us behind a black curtain where The Jonas Brothers were standing. They were so polite and sweet, I couldn't believe it. Logan's whole day was made when Nick came up to him and told Logan "Stay strong and hang in there". After that he reached into his pocket and pulled out one of his guitar picks and gave it to Logan. It made me want to cry, I swear I am such a sappy mom. Poor Riley on the other hand was so star struck he could hardly talk to them. After they introduced themselves, and shook all our hands one of the body guards took our picture and shuffled us out, they wouldn't even let them autograph anything for anyone.
The Million Of Screaming Fans

Us With The Jonas Brothers

After the meet and greet we headed to our seats for the show. We had great seats, we were on the front row off to the side of the stage and down a little. They started it all with an opening prayer, then Glen Beck came out and we all sang the National An theme. I felt so much patriotism all around, it was so amazing and touching. They did some really cool preshow dancing and fire dancing and such. Next was the opening preformers Shedaisy. They came out and there was a lot of cheers, they sang 3 songs and that was it. Next was another little group of dancers while they set the stage for The Jonas Brothers.

When the dancers were done the fans went CRAZY!!!! I thought we were going to be deaf from all the screaming girls, as The Jonas Brothers took the stage. It was so much fun to watch my boys get so excited over a group/band. Brandon and I felt so OLD however with all the young kids and teenagers screaming all around us, it was pretty funny. The Jonas Brothers put on a great concert and we all had a great time.

After The Jonas Brothers were done the fireworks started. Remember how I said we had such great seats??? Well not so great for the fireworks. As we started watching the beautiful fireworks we started to notice ash falling all over us. We were right where all the ash fell from the fireworks, if you looked up you had to be careful not to open your mouth. Luckily we all survived the ash in the end. They did a short intermission in between the fireworks so the could do a flag burning ceremony. I can't even express into words just how amazing this was to watch. Glen Beck got choked up as he was telling about the flag they were about to burn. I totally got choked up myself and started to cry, it was so touching and many other things. After they flag was loaded into the metal urn type thing and sealed. It then started on fire and lit this torch thing next to it. It was so freaking cool!!!! The fireworks started soon after along with more ash. When it was all over our boys couldn't stop saying how great of a night it was. They both told us it was their BEST DAY EVER!!! I have to say it was one of many for me, just to see my boys faces and be there as a family. I am so proud to be an american. We are all so lucky for our freedom and the many things we have. I hope everyone had as good of holiday as we did.
