Ethan had a field trip to TPAC (Topeka Performing Arts Center) to see Stephen Fite in concert. I will say this, and quite loudly: I am SO glad this was my first and last performance.
We never saw shows like Dora, Wiggles, etc in concert. We never had the desire to do so. I will say that the concert reminded me of that, LOL.
