Free Concert of Insanity

On Saturday evening I took all 4 kids by myself to the annual free orchestra concert at Freedom Park.  The theme of the music was the Wild West.  Before the event started, we played with the soccer ball in the field, which was fun.



I'm sure the music was great, but I didn't get to hear any of it.  When the concert started, the kids were not interested.  It was fairly dark, but Henry was insistent on wandering around.  When I made him sit still he flipped out in a tantrum, which meant others couldn't hear.  While chasing down Henry who had stolen some random guy's sunglasses case I looked over to see Benjamin wrapped up in the blanket and Mo carrying the bag of popcorn upside down with popcorn dropping onto the ground.  After about 40 minutes of this I had enough and took the kids home.  It made Emma cry.  I actually felt bad.  But not bad enough to stay.  It was miserable.  Maybe when the kids are older and will sit, behave, and listen I will go back.  Until then... I think we'll stick with sports instead.
