A Birthday Surprise

Taylor Swift is coming to town in June!!! What perfect timing with my baby girl turning six on June 25th. I bought tickets for us to go with my girlfriend Amanda. Our seats were the best I could get. Of course anything but touching the stage opens room for improvement.

I made a shirt that said "I love Taylor Swift" and "K102 Rocks" on the back. This was in hopes that someone from the radio station would see her all cute in her country gear and upgrade our seats. No such luck! I bought Sam new cowgirl boots to wear, she put on her jean skirt with camo ruffles around the bottom and a zip up jacket until I was ready to give her the shirt that gave away the surprise. I asked where she thought we were going in her cowgirl outfit and she thought for a moment... "Cowboy Dan's!" she shouted out with confidence. No honey... Mall of America? Chuckie Cheese? House of Coates? nope, nope and nope. As we turned on Amanda's street I looked back to see...

We made it to the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul and there was Taylor gear galore. Sam still had no idea. Then we sat down and she saw the stage. I didn't get the reaction I was hoping for but she was still very happy. About half way through Taylor's performance she passed out. It was about 9:15pm. I tried my best to wake her up but no luck. Out cold! Until of course it was time to leave - then she woke up and thankfully walked herself to the truck with her new shirt in hand.
