Steam Boat Days

The week of june 10-14 is quite the celebration here in small town Iowa, its STEAM BOAT DAYS :) ! This year the performers where Toby Keith, Christ Young, Jerrod Niemann and a few others but we only saw the country concerts. We got an awesome deal on the tickets and just could not pass up such great country singers.( I mean they are no Brad Paisley but still good :) ) Every night we got there with our lawn chairs and we were super close to each night! I guess that's the perks for living in the middle of no where...  There were concesion stands everywhere and every night we went, we could not have asked for better weather. Our first concert we say was Jerrod Niemann. 

I was so excited I forgot to get a picture of his trailer with his logo on it, but we sat and saw a pre-show by a guy named Dallis Smith, let me tell ya, that boy is going to make it big one day !!! (AMAZING) The concert was really great and we actually ran into one of Jonnys coworkers and his wife. We ended up sitting next to one another and having a great night cheering and singing along. We have actually seen him before in concert and this time, It felt like a lot of his songs were about drinking. IT WAS SO FUNNY, we were sing along to a song that we really liked, and Jonny was really into it. Then Jarrod holds up his glass and says something like, " If you drinking give me a HELL YA.." then Jonny fist pumps the air and yells Hell ya.. not even knowing what he was cheering about. Everyone around us look at him holding his little NON-alcoholic lemonade in his hand, and his coworker and wife who are members of the church just bust out laughing along with me. Jonny is a silly/ fun one to be with and makes every adventure a memorable one.

Our second concert was Chris Young, he was our favorite singer of all. NO songs about getting drunk and drinking. We had so much fun just kicking back in our chairs and singing along to good old love songs :). AND to top off the awesome night we got a funnel cake :):):) YUMMMMMM I sadly pretty much ate the whole thing, but Jonny had some I made sure to share. 

how can anyone ever pass up one of these bad boys !!!!!!!!! The only thing bad that happened  was on the way down to the concert Christ Young broke his arm, so he was not able to play his guitar.

Our last concert we went to was Tobey Keith, Burlington although it is close its far to drive when you work the next morning and it takes 45 min to drive home. With the Tobey Keith I was super excited, but then he started singing all these songs about smoking weed with Willie Nelson and getting high.... He only sung like two of his songs that actually where hits !!!!!!  So I think it is safe to say that we were very disappointed with Tobey Keith, and will prob never go to another one of his concerts again. We were even right next to the stage really close, but after impaired people split 4 drinks on me I was ready to go sit down in our seats. When he played his last song we left because he was not coming out for another song, so we left... well 25 min after his last song while we were walking to the car he plays his Top AMERICA song.... What the heck TOBEY.... so anyway it was fun and the most important thing was I got to spend some time with my best friend in the whole wide world .
