It was going to be a busy day today!
Nana and I started our day with a benefit luncheon for the Canfield Community Care net. They help families with major expenses due to serious illnesses. It was set up as a purse bash and Chinese auction. We were meeting Rachel, Laura, Sharon, Helen and Karen. We had a nice afternoon checking out the auctions and the many vendors that were there. Nana did win a few items from the silent auction, a purse, bracelet and a set of Jamberry nail wraps. They had a lovely buffet of sandwiches, fruit and salad. Fun afternoon!
Speaking of Jamberry, I ended up getting a couple sheets for me from a vendor. I got a set for the 4th of July, Disney Cruise and just an everyday set. I can't wait to try them out!
After the luncheon, we went home for a short time, before we set out for the Lady Antebellum concert. I came home to see that two of the ten butterflies had come out of their chrysalis. It was too exciting! They were beautiful! Although, the one seems to have crumbled up wings. Hopefully, they will straighten out. Even still, they are so cool! We filled up their cage with sliced oranges, flowers and cotton balls soaked in sugar water. Reagan was so excited! She just stared at them. We can't believe we actually got to witness such an amazing transformation. We can't wait to see the rest of them come out.
Soon enough, it was time to head out to the Lady Antebellum concert. Everything leading up to this concert had been a total mess. Awhile back, we purchased Golden VIP tickets for a show in November, that show ended up getting cancelled and rescheduled for today. Jim and I actually moved our plane tickets for our November Disney trip for that show, so there was that added frustration.
Anyway, the Golden VIP experience was supposed to carry over to this show. It kept getting closer and we hadn't heard anything about a time for the meet and greet, so a few days ago, we called the company to find out what was going on. They were going to check on it and get back to us. A few hours later, we find out that they cancelled the Golden VIP experience. We think they forgot about it due to the rescheduling of the show. The whole package was to include a tote bag, lanyard, meet and greet, private two song acoustic show, and seats in the first three rows. We really only cared about the great seats and the meet and greet.
To say we were disappointed it was cancelled, would be an understatement.
Through Twitter and Facebook we kept checking out Lady Antebellum's pages and saw that some people were winning meet and greets. We were like WTF!? We ended up calling back the company and Blossom. Word started trickling down from other VIP Golden ticket holders through social media that they were possibly going to let us in to the meet and greet, we just wouldn't get the other stuff. We didn't care, we just wanted the meet and greet. After numerous phone calls and emails, we heard that it was most likely going to happen.
We ended up heading to Blossom early and went to the Will Call window. The lady opened an envelope and handed us two tickets. It said nothing about a meet and greet. I asked her, "Where do we go for the meet and greet?" just playing dumb. She said "Oh, you have a meet and greet." She dug down into a bottom drawer, a totally different drawer than the first one and pulled out another envelope. Sure enough it had our name on it with two meet and greet wrist bands! It was SO EXCITING!!!
Finally, it was time to line up for the meet and greet. Nana and I actually were second in line! We were so nervous and so excited all at the same time. All of a sudden, the three of them came around the corner and we were just star struck. Hillary is just gorgeous and her clothes and shoes were just amazing! Charles was HUGE! I didn't realize he was so tall. He towers over everyone! And Dave, was just so sweet. We said "hello" got some hugs and had to move along. It was worth every minute of trying to figure out what the heck was going on. They were super friendly and super sweet! Love them!
The concert itself was amazing. They have so much energy and did all our favorites! We loved it!
While we were out and about all day. Jimmy and Reagan just hung around the house and played. Jimmy did a little cleaning for me and went to the grocery store. How freaking sweet was that! Reagan was even picking out my favorite veggies at the store. She picked me out a summer squash and zucchini. Love her! They had a fun day just relaxing and waiting for butterflies!
Next, our first butterfly!
Reagan and her veggies she wanted to get me.
Finally, her at bedtime with her Epcot map. She LOVES looking at the maps we bring home from our trips
