The Jimmies

We found a new kids band. And I love it! So does Alexis, thank goodness, because that gives me a good excuse to listen to their music.

The Jimmies were giving a free concert today downtown near Union Square, so we went. They were filming for a DVD they'll be releasing and Alexis got to be right up front. Maybe she'll be in the movie! It was a great rock concert, kiddie style. She got a free t-shirt and rocked out to make her Aunt Allie & Aunt Laura proud!


Here's a video clip of my favorite song, Spanimals:



After the concert we wandered through the Union Square Farmer's Market, then over to Blue 9 for some yummy hamburgers (if you don't already know, Matt & I are always looking for some good burgers!) This was a place we found a couple of years ago, but have just never been back to for one reason or another. Then we did a little shopping at Trader Joe's and loaded it all onto our stroller & shoulders and headed back uptown on the A train. Which promptly stopped due to an *electrical outage*. So we sat at the 42nd street station for awhile hoping and praying that it would be up and running soon, but finally decided (for the sake of our milk) to transfer to the 1 train which took us home without any further delays. I do love the subway system here, but it can be so temperamental and a bit uncooperative at times.
