Neil Diamond!!

Wednesday night, Ronda and I surprised Mom with her birthday present. Granted, her birthday was in October so it looked as if we were a bit late but Neil wasn't coming to town until December!! We showed up to Mom's house all dressed up and ready to go. We told her to get ready and we were taking her to dinner. She was a bit confused when we went downtown to a place called Braun's Bar & Grill. Out of all the places we could have taken her, she couldn't understand why we were going there. Of course we chose that because it's across the street from the Pepsi Center where the concert was being held. She still didn't think anything was up when we had to pay $20 to park and there were "Event Parking" signs all over the place. It was getting very hard to keep a straight face while we were in the restaurant and they were playing non-stop Neil Diamond!! At one point she even said "here's my man! Hey.. isn't he coming to Denver sometime soon?" We played that off but eventually just handed her her ticket because we couldn't explain the spontaneous laughing from us. We had such a great time and Mom loved it!!! Here are some pics from dinner. We obeyed the rule of "no cameras in the venue" but when we got in there flashes were going off everywhere so I guess we would have been fine. Such rule-keepers we are!!
