Babe's Bucket List Challenge #2 - Attend Concert with Son

 

Welcome to Babe's Bucket List Challenge, where I'm tackling twelve of the thirty things on my bucket list and writing about the experiences...won't you join me?


Remember my dad (from the Word of the Year post)?  Dad's joie de vivre was unmatched -- he loved life!  Music, surfing, engineering, strong coffee, and family were part of his core.  He loved tinkering with ideas and often worked with his grandsons on projects such as building a siege tower, designing and building a chicken coop, and designing and shooting off rockets...plus going fishing.  He lived life with an engineer's precision, a surfer's spirit, and a drummer's soul.  Even as his health declined, his spirit, sense of humor, and love for ice cream never wavered.

In his honor, this year I have created a bucket list - a compliation of dreams and aspirations - to work from.  My husband (who grew up in our town and interned with him as a teen) has also written down a bucket list, and we're going for it!  You can download your own Bucket List template at the Word of the Year post.

This kid is my music baby.  He loves listening to music, making music, and pretty much all genres of music.  I just love it!  

Typically, concerts are a 'him and his dad' thing.  They go to a lot of big hair and heavy metal bands.  It's their special time, but I wanted to share this with him at least once!  When he expressed an interest in an OKC Tyler Childers' show, I said that this one was mine.  Time to enjoy a little one-on-one time with...well...a few thousand other people.


We had so much fun that we've already got another show planned for April 2026!

To be fair, this wasn't the first music event we'd been to...lots of fun things in Branson and music festivals in NC...but it was our first real stadium/arena concert together....   If you love live music, be sure to follow the Sparks Academy youtube page for monthly videos!  There's even a fifteen-minute montage of the concert we went to for this challenge....if you're so inclined.  😉
