Lee DeWyze Concert

Last week I read in the newspaper that Lee DeWyze would be having his homecoming party at Arlington Race Track on Friday if he made it to the top 3 on American Idol. Lee is from our area so I thought it would be fun and I was determined to get tix!!! And I was lucky enough to get some. They were free and so was parking....so I figured why not! I love Lee!! I took the kids and we went with our neighbor and her 3 girls. We had an absolute BLAST!!!! I am so glad we had the opportunity to go. There were 42,000 people there!! It was a beautiful night for an outdoor concert! Sorry some of my pics are blurry....I zoomed in so much that they became blurry.
Rose and I:)

The kids entertaining themselves while we waited. We got there 2 hours before the concert so there was alot of waiting around.

We even got to see some of the last few horse races of the day. The kids loved that!!
When the cameras were over our heads we had the kids hold up our sign so maybe we will all be on tv tomorrow night:)

Kaitlyn and Lauren:)


Here is Lee on one of the balconies before the show. He was in tears!!! Lee seems like the most humble guy! He was so overwhelmed by the support!!

Here he is waving to me:) Just Kidding!

Colin, Maddie and Kaitlyn



Look at the crowds!! You can see the camera on that long arm....it spanned the audience all night so maybe we will actually be on tv!!!



Maddie and Kaitlyn being silly!

We were the 3rd row up from the track so the kids went down to watch Lee sing on the jumbo tron screens.

Yes, we acted like groupies and waited to watch Lee come out to his limo. No luck:( We are all in love with Lee now. He is an amazing singer and great on the guitar! We cant wait for tomorrow night to see him sing again!!
