ALLEN CELEBRATION USA

Last Saturday we went to "Allen Celebration USA". The city of Allen hold this free event ever year and they had lots of food, booths for vendors and civic information. The had a area for the kids full of bounce houses but it was too hot that day to be bouncing around! We didn't get there till after 6 PM and we were still drinking anything that was cold! Smash Mouth was the big musical act this year (last year it was Three Dog Night) and they hit the stage around 8:30 PM. They did play a lot of hits and I guess it was the first time that all 5 original members had played together in a long time. The highlight of the show was the 2 Van Halen covers and then the cover of House of pain's "Jump Around". The low point was the fact that the singer was off key most of the night. A big thank you to Neal van der Upwich for letting us sit next to him. His daughter, Sophie loved to dance and play with our kids!
