Every Monday during the summer American Fork Arts council does a free concert series at Amphitheater Park across from the Timpanoogas Temple. It is one of the most amazing settings for...well anything. We've watched "The Sound of Music" and "Once on This Island" there. We see any play showing there and have even been to a couple wedding receptions there. It looks out at a view of Utah Lake framed in gigantic beautiful pine trees.
The whole park has a lot of big beautiful shady trees. (Something you really appreciate in Utah) We've had many picnics there even before we got married. It even rivals the temple grounds for the favorite picture taking spot around.

It is our absolute favorite park in American Fork. So when we heard that two young men in our ward had a band that was playing there we had to go. There were three bands playing that night. Almost Acoustic (Taylor and Jamison Sermon's band) was playing last. We got there and found a
seat down towards the front so we could be in the thick of things but after the first bands first song we felt the need to protect Hyrum's tender ears and found our way to the top of the amphitheater. By the time Almost Acoustic took the stage Hyrum was getting tired and wasn't in the mood to mosh with the other kids in front of the stage. It was the debut of Almost Acoustic's first CD so they were selling shirts and CD's during the performance.. It was so fun seeing people we knew jamming in a band that seemed to be all the rage with the kids these days. They even sang back up and had guitar solo's. We were really tempted to buy a CD and a shirt but figured we should save our money for a house. We can still say we knew them then and saw them play the amphitheater park on the day of their CD debut. Till then Hyrum will have to jam to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" We left there feeling a little older and not as hip but I guess that happens when your parents.
I forgot my camera the night of the concert so I went back to take pictures later. I was waiting for one of the many families getting their pictures taken to vacate the premises when I noticed Hyrum giving me a big cheeser grin so I decided to snap a picture.
Hyrum wanted to see another concert so he sat down in the stands to watch.
He waited in vain.
