Clap Your Hands, Stomp Your Feet

Today I went to my very first concert. It was an outdoor music festival held in Clark, NJ with a ton of performers called Union County (UC) Musicfest. It was really a dream come true for my parents as acts that they wanted to see when they were younger were performing. Bands included They Might Be Giants ("TMBG"), Gin Blossoms, Tonic, with the headliner as Pete Yorn. Not sure if you are familiar with these bands, but I really enjoyed TMBG. We arrived early and met up with Josh to get good seats for the kids show which was performed by TMBG as they just came out with a kids album. It was a beautiful day as the temps were in the mid to high 70's with lots of sunshine. Perfect for a day of singing along with all the songs. We landed some seats center stage a ways back but enough room to run around and enjoy ourselves. TMBG played a song titled "Clap Your Hands, Stomp Your Feet" and that's exactly what I did. It was a great time!

As soon as the kids concert was over, we headed towards the shade where we spent the remainder of the afternoon hanging out, teaching Josh how to push our strollers around, and toddling all over while listening to the other bands. We attempted to make it through TMBG's second show full of adult songs, but without any naps, Josh and I made a lovely pair of monsters by 6:30 pm. So we took off, missing the headliner, Pete Yorn, but maybe next we'll be able to stay a little later to see him...
