George Strait Concert

USANA AMPHITHEATER

With George Strait

On Friday July 17, George Strait came to town at the USANA amphitheater. Kalee got tickets for us, we took Shayne and Chett. We left Mink Creek about 1:00 pm in the afternoon, dropped Chalis off with Mike (Kalee's brother) and were on our way. We stopped in Richmond to pick up Shayne then on to Logan. Kalee wanted to do a little shopping at the Mall and we had plenty of time. Once we finished with the mall hopping we went to Layton and ate at the Olive Garden. Then we headed South to our destination. In Layton it was hitting around 100 degrees. We headed down Bangerter Highway and turned West towards the USANA, we were about 20 blocks away when the traffic came to a stand still. Come to find out an hour later and 116 degree temp that there was a wreck on the road we were on. By the time we made it to USANA we had missed half of Julianne Hough. But that was okay. We parked and found our seats and enjoyed the rest of the evening. It wasn't to bad heat wise and the place was packed.

Here are a couple of pictures of Julianne singing...





I feel a bit of rage coming on here, Kalee is not liking the photo session of her.... hahaha...to bad, she is so photogenic when she gets mad... lol. and fun to tease!!



Can't tell if the sun is in her eyes or she is winking at me.. hmmm.. I think she is winking at me... :-)







Next up was Blake Shelton, He sang a few songs and made some jokes to intermingle with the crowd. He said he was going to go get wasted when the concert was over (drunk)...

Blake singing "Some Beach", just a clip of the song, the crowd was going crazy!!

George on the Big Screen!!!

Finally what we came for George.

George sang a lot of songs and I thought he was really good. He didn't move from the center of stage much, but thats okay. I could understand everything he sang.

Here are Shayne and Chett, Shayne was taking in the whole experience in his own way, I think Chett was a bit bored of the whole thing. I don't think it was quite what he expected, I think he was used to the concerts being more active. Besides he was having trouble seeing over the Cowboy hat in front of him.





This is a picture of Kalee's back of head shot, then Ryan and Shannon Swainston. Shannon is Kal's good friend from Preston. She is due to have her baby on the 24th of July and it is now the 17th. Nothing was going to keep her from seeing George.

Chin shot....

I think I have wore out my welcome on the pictures.... So until next adventure I guess no more.

The concert was great and the company that I went with was awesome. We left the USANA and headed home. I dropped Shayne off at home about 2:00 am and took Kalee and Chett home, we made it to Mink Creek around 2:30 am. Shannon left the concert 1/2 hour before we did and she didn't get home in Preston until about 3:00, she was stuck in the parking lot for about 1 hour. I just got road rage and got the heck out of there I guess. Fun Times!!!!
