Winter Jam 2011

This year we finally got to go to Winter Jam down at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland. Although I had to teach Friday School, Zack, Andy and Hobo (Elijah) drove down in order to wait in line at 10am! They braved the cold damp weather for 5 hours before Chris, Will, Riley and I arrived to find only this many people when we got there…

This only made us appreciate their sacrifice (although unnecessary) all the more! Thankfully it did not start raining until much later in the day and we had a spot under cover!

William took some of the waiting time to explore and take a few shots of the Rose Quarter…

When the doors opened we were one of the first to arrive and we got AWESOME seats right by the stage!!! This was not only more fun and loud, but also allowed William to get some sweet pictures! It was really hard to pick!

This year’s line-up was amazing: Newsboys, Matthew West, Kutless, Fireflight, NewSong, RED, KJ-52, Dara Maclean, For King & Country, and Patrick Ryan Clark & guest speaker Tony Nolan!

Our favorites were RED, KJ-52, Fireflight, Kutless and Newsboys! But the whole show was so great and I am already looking forward to next year…
