We then surprised the kids with a free concert at Ocean City Tabernacle. This was the kick-off of their Summer season. The concert featured 4 bands, Nevertheless, Krystal Myers, DecembeRadio, and SuperChic[k]. In case you do not know who these bands are, they all have hits on the top 40 Christian Bill board. DecembeRadio just received a Dove award, Krystal Myers was nominated for Best Female Vocalist, and SuperChic[k] has released several albums dealing with the way Christian girls should live their lives and their self esteem. We were able to be right upfront. Darlene and I were actually in the mosh pit. (I got a compliment when Darlene informed me that I proved I was not as old as she thought.) Darlene even got to sing into the mic during the Superchic[k] set. Both the kids met and got autographs from all band members. What an experience!!!!! I don’t know if I had more fun at the concert enjoying the music or watching Darlene and Christopher and remembering all the concerts and Creation festivals we attended as teenagers.

These are a couple of pictures of getting autographs with some of the bands.
Memorial Day started with Darlene marching in a parade in Absecon. She has signed up to be in the high school band for next year and was invited to carry the banner for parades for this spring and summer.After the parade Tom and Christopher put together our new grill. This was a very frustrating project because the directions were as Dad calls them “Mickey Mouse Directions”. It took a total of 3 1/2 hours to put it together. But
as Christopher said “It was worth the work.” Our first grilled dinner of the season was Steak and grilled potatoes.
