We all had fun at the Country Creamery after Jacob's concert

Walked 2 miles in the morning while playing good worship music.  Then I ate oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast and had my morning coffee.  Did more cleaning today, while Bill went with Charlie.  I cleaned the downstairs. bathroom and scrubbed and waxed the foyer.  When Bill got home, we read our Bibles. 

Around 4, Maddy and Brielle came over to ride with us to Jacob's solo concert.  They got here early and Maddy put Brielle's carseat in the truck, then we hung out until it was time to leave.  Brielle was so cute.  She loved eating her baby snacks and loved rolling over on the floor.  I had fun holding her and feeding her her bottle.  We left at 4:45 for Jacob's concert.  Charlie and Sue came too, so did Vikki and her family, and Bruce, Jack and Evan.  Jacob sure plays the clarinet well.  His performance was outstanding.  He amazes me how good he plays.  He was funny, because when he was done he told everyone if they had any questions or wanted autographs (he said the last part with a chuckle) he would be out in the hallway.  We didn't have any paper, but Peyton had her I pad, so she had Jacob sign it.  We took lots of pictures, then met at Country Creamery for ice cream.  Bruce had left before we thought of this, so we didn't get to ask him.  We had fun hanging out more.  

When we got home, we watched a couple of good Christian movies.
