Rachel Platten

One of our friends gave us four tickets to the Rachel Platten concert.

 Britton wasn't sure he wanted to go, but we forced him to come along. 

The concert was held at Cherry Peak.  

This area is beautiful!

Alyssa ordered a meal with Dutch oven potatoes and salad. I am telling you, her plate of food was massive and looked tasty. I wanted to get Britton and Ashlynn one of these delicious meals. There were two venues right next to one another serving the SAME menu with the SAME prices. I foolishly thought you paid at one spot and picked up your food at the other. I was wrong! I don't know why I don't ask more questions. I paid the cashier and was immediately handed a box of food. I opened the box and realized I had messed up.  I knew Ashlynn would want what Alyssa had and was glad I had only bought one meal. I went next door to the place with food that did not come in a box and ordered another meal. Britton ate the brisket sandwich in a box and let Ash have the Dutch oven plate. He stated, "I'll never complain about a brisket sandwich and fries. This is delicious." 

This girl is a party at concerts. 

I love her enthusiasm and energy. 

The girls made it up to the front to see Rachel sing.

Rachel did not sing many of her popular songs. She mostly sang songs 

that will be coming out on her new album. It was a thought-provoking concert. 

Her thoughts and emotions felt raw and came straight from her heart. Rachel recently had two daughters and experienced post-partum depression. I am thankful that I never had this with my children. I have observed that it is a common and challenging struggle for many. 

Rachel's new songs and the commentary during her concert were about finding herself again, learning to not care what others think, and as the song states...

Take Back My Life song,

Prove I'm alright song

Her power was definitely turned on and

 her vocals were on point and flawless.

Rachel proved she definitely has a lot of fight left in her. 

When she determines that it is time to perform consistently again, 

she will be stronger than ever!
