We took the kids to Taylorsville Days this weekend with our neighbors. It was fun to be outside and just hang out. We started the day out at the parade in the morning, then ended up at the park for a concert. I could not believe how many people were at the concert before the fireworks. They booked Jay White a Neil Diamond impersonator. He performs in Las Vegas. I must say he looked and sounded just like him. The seniors in the crowed were going CRAZY. They had to hire extra security to keep them tamed. He got a standing ovation for “Forever in Blue Jeans”, it was so good he sang it again to gratify the raging crowd. The best part was when the firework show started and Neil sang “We’re Coming to America”… There is just something about patriotic songs and fireworks that get to me. I had massive chills and I had to stop and pull myself together so I would not start blubbering.

WOW! he really does look like Neil Diamond. That is so crazy and I cry every year at the fireworks so it isn't just you Jenny.
I can't believe I missed Neil! That would have been great.
he's a little skinny, but other than that! your kids are so cute by the way...they must get it from their mom!
I love fireworks! It looks like you guys had a full day of FUN!!
I remember the time that my mom and Norma Tripp went to see Neil Diamond at the delta center. Next time, please let them know. And by the way....why is claire wearing long pants and a jacket? Just curious. Was it extra cold in Taylorsville that night? Liz scolds me if Matthew even has a onesie on under his shirt.
It did get chilly at night. And there were LOTS of mosquitos.
Your kids are darling. What a great evening... Neil Diamond... hold me back with the seniors... I love him! Okay not as much as Tim McGraw but I did listen to him with my parents growing up. What a fun night.
