“I want Ba-Ba-Ba!” “I want Ba-Ba-Ba!”
This has been Grady’s cry for about a month now.
No, he is not asking for a bottle. He is asking for his favorite song.

He loves this song. Whenever Adam puts it on, Grady gets up & starts jumping up & down. He only sings ba-ba-ba, but when that part comes, he yells sings it such a way that you can’t help but sing along with him.
Ava & Garrett quickly got on the Ba-Ba-Ba bandwagon too. So, Tuesday night, we, along with some good friends, took the kids to see the Beach Boys at Ravinia.
We had such a good time! We brought our blanket, lawn chairs, favorite snacks & had a good time dancing. Throughout the night, the kids kept asking when their song was coming. Adam & I kept replying “Hopefully soon,” and then we’d give each other a nervous glance. I mean, I know they have lots of wonderful songs & can only fit so many into a set, but they just HAD to play that song.
And then, five minutes before the concert ended…it came.
Oh, I wish you could have been there! It was such a sweet moment, watching our kids’ faces light up – especially Grady.
What a wonderful summer night!
So, Graders, this one is for you…
And for those reading/watching, go ahead – bop along…you know you want to.

Haha their pants were so high! And the drummer does the same head-flip that the guys with similar hair have to do now. Hilarious! The teenagers now think they’re so cutting-edge…

Fun, fun, fun!!! I remember seeing the Beach Boys in concert on my 30th birthday! Yikes! Quite a while ago. Guess they’ll keep on forever just like the Stones. Gotta love it!
