We haven't been since 2006 and have spent the last few holidays in Steamboat with my sister and her family. (which I love and really missed doing this year). We were not able to do that trip this summer, so we decided that we would give Red Rocks a try. There is a lot of thought that goes into taking a 3 year old to a concert. I have judged many parents in the past for bringing kids to concerts. I mean, they are loud, often have lots of not so legal things going on, and well, it just seems like a bad parenting move. But we talked ourselves into it. First, because it is Red Rocks and it is outdoors. Second, we decided we would sit at the top of the ampitheater. It actually isn't too loud up there and being outdoors, we figured it would be ok for her ears. And all the other reasons, we just talked ourselves into it because we could walk around with her and she would be so excited to see the fireworks all over the sky.
Adriana has been to see Yo Gabba Gabba live but this was technically her 1st real concert. First concert at 3 years of age, pretty good deal. It was only a matter of time with us as her parents. She loves music and loves to dance and I am really excited and hope she will have the love for music and concerts through her life that Rob and I do.
She did great. Our friend Oscar was with us and that provided her with even more entertainment. And actually we had about 5 other 3 year olds at the show around us. We sat at the very top and she could see all the fireworks over the city. She danced and had so much fun. She loved running around and being outside and was so fascinated with the big red rocks. In fact she named one Alligator. Still not sure why.
She lasted until about 10 and then told me she was tired and fell asleep in my lap. We stayed about another hour while she slept on me and then we headed home.
It was a great way to spend the 4th. And a future concert lover was born.
