JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT AT THE FORD AMPHITHEATRE....THE GIRLS HAD A BLAST



August 30, 2008
LABOR DAY WEEKEND: Activities were limited due to Gustav pounding its feeder bands on us all day Saturday and Sunday. NL did get trapped and attacked by a VERY LARGE ROACH in the bathroom on Sunday night. Unfortunately we have no video of the assault but we did get the audio of the attack and will try to upload this week. Kristen and Whitney then find the roach beside their computers and came running downstairs which resulted in Kristen falling down the stairs onto the tile floor. As you can see from the swollen ankle the roach got the best of her as well. Richard had some quality time with the girls and managed to carry everyone up stairs.
