The main event, Xavier Rudd was even better than expected…and we had HIGH hopes. On the drive down to Salt Lake we were saying that with his new CD that is a little bit of a change from his old ones, we knew the show would be good but didn’t know what to expect. Holy Cow!! We were 
right up in front of the stage and there were times I turned around to make sure Tyson was still right behind me and he was standing, jaw dropped just staring (and I have to admit I found myself doing the same a couple times). I can’t say enough good things, but I’m ready to see him again!! For those who don’t know this guy, he is from Australia where he Dad is or was Prime Minister. He plays a guitar (well he switches between a couple), three didgeridoos, drums with his feet, and percussion all while he sings and he is a damn good writer. Absolutely amazing!! I’m blown away. The crowd was 
amazing. They gave him their full attention and kept shouting thank you for coming and you’re the best. It may have been the best show of the summer…only one real contender on the 11th is John Butler Trio. I’ll keep you posted, but I don’t know how he can top it! Maybe a tie.
We had a great weekend!! Saturday we went to an amazing concert at The Depot down in Salt Lake. Gina, Josh and Jared were a blast to go with. We were introduced to Griffin House, well the main singer. He came out by himself and even with the first song we were hooked. I can’t wait till he comes back with his band.
We thoroughly enjoyed our lolly gagging around Sunday and Monday. We took a loop through Beaver Mountain, were we drove for an hour or two on dirt roads stopping to let the dog swim in the pond. He would spend hours and hours swimming if we let him. He loves to shake on you especially if he has chased his stick into a muddy patch.
We came down fish haven canyon and stopped in Fish Haven at the small grocery store to check our last lottery ticket and get another. On to St. Charles to check in with Grandpa Fry and we made our way through Paris and up to Lava Ranches and spent the evening warming up with
Doug and Sheryl. The next day we just took our time getting home. It was nice after the over-excitement on Saturday.
