It ended up turning out to be a great evening. when we left the restraunt the four of us Girls Sapna, me ad her two sisters took pics outside yes we are silly girls and wanted to get some good memories on digital film. and than we all went over to Yoslinas house in Boise for a bit, all of us girls took some pics outside the house, till it was time to go home.

I thik my younger sister was sad she wasn't there w her friends i guess who wants to hang out w a bunch of old people(to a teenager) at a concert. It was also her first concert ad i tried to get her to stand up and wave her arms and to cheer! She just looked at me funny so i pulled her up and grabbed her arms as she just laughed at me like i was just silly and like we were a bunch of weirdos.
