The Wilsons: Jonas Brothers World Tour

Daddy and Mary Conlee went on a road trip. Their destination? Birmingham, Alabama to see the Jonas Brothers in concert. I didn't go to a concert until my freshman year in high school to see INXS. Judd said his first concert was John Cougar Mellencamp in middle school. Mary Conlee is a mere 6 1/2 years old and this was her second concert to attend-- the first being Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. The JB were the opening act at Hannah's concert, so we knew what to expect. There is nothing louder than than the high-pitched screams of thousands of little girls. Judd said it was the loudest thing he's ever heard!

The best part for Daddy was the pitstop to none other than...Milo's! I sent my camera with them and he made sure to capture that particular memory. After MC talked her Daddy into buying a few Jonas Brothers souvenirs, they made their way to the seats. Jordin Sparks from American Idol fame was supposed to open for the JB, but wasn't there due to an illness. Instead, they were entertained by Honor Society and Wonder Girls. As soon as the Jonas Brothers came up from below the stage, MC stayed in a trance the entire concert. She used her light stick throughout the evening and Judd enjoyed how she matched her light's color to the ones they used on stage. She mouthed most of the words to each song and managed to let out a scream or two in between. A trampoline, fire hoses (a sensitive subject matter for the city of Birmingham back in the 60's), and a rain shower entertained the audience. Both Daddy and MC thought the coolest special effects were when the water came down from the ceiling shaped like hearts, the JB logo, and a silhouette of the boys. Mary Conlee says that Kevin remains her favorite Jonas Brother, but she enjoyed the music and entertainment of all three of them! Just knowing that her best buddy, Katelyn, along with her mom and sister, were on the other side of the coliseum enjoying the same concert made it extra special for Mary Conlee. On the way back to Tupelo, MC slept on a pallet in the back seat, made especially by her Daddy. Thanks, Judd, for making this night so special for our little princess.
