Ava's First Concert

Friday night we took Ava to the Jobing.com Arena to see her first concert--Miley Cyrus. I normally would have referred to Ms. Cyrus as her popular TV persona, Hanna Montana...However, after witnessing the concert first hand, it was most definitely not Hanna Montana. No, Miley Cyrus is certainly doing all that she can to shed that squeeky clean image and gain a far more mature (male) following.

Luckily, Ava is still too naive and innocent to even notice that the sweet character Hanna Montana from TV was no where in sight and the more provocative Miley flaunting her (half-dressed) 16 year-old body all over the stage was there in her place. Ava was too in awe of the lights, and thundering music and dancers. She was thrilled!

Miley flew on a motorcycle, high above the audiences' heads singing 'I love Rock n' Roll'.

And the fews songs Ava recognized and knew by heart, she sang with her own pretend microphone (with half of the glitter eaten off by our dog, Lola Jean, or so Ava says anyway).

Ava's favorite songs that Miley performed were: The Climb and Party in the USA. Sadly, Miley did not perform 'The Best of Both Worlds.' Disappointing because that is Ava's favorite song to sing...about a million times a day.

It was a fun night out and Ian and I truly enjoyed watching Ava take it all in. Like most little girls in the audience, she was probably thinking to herself as she watched Miley dance and sing- I want to do that some day.

And so the dream begins...
