Our School Trip to Wonderland

 Just a quick note before I am off to work

this morning.

 

We had a great day at the amusement park

yesterday. The band played first thing in the morning

at 10, and we didn't get there till 9:45.

By the time they ushered us through the gates,

checked all of our bags and instrument cases,

and even did a metal detector search on us,

the kids sure didn't have much time to practice before

playing before the adjudicator.

 

They did really well and then surprise, surprise he

actually quizzed them and told them how they

could improve certain things in the music they played.

They all thought he was pretty mean, but I

thought it was nice of him to use his experience

to teach them a few things.

 

Our group grew from 5 of us to 8 as everyone

wanted to come along with us, but I said, yes the

more the merrier. These are Grade 8 kids and they

are pretty responsible, and we all had a great time.

It was an all school day, so there weren't very

many adults around, lol,

 made me feel very old standing

in line with all those younguns!!

 

I just opened my e-mail this morning and found

out that my sister, Tricia (gibby here) was taken

to hospital yesterday. She is pregnant and had complications. She had a headache and they

think there may be pressure behind her eyes or

something like that and they kept her overnite

and sent her to Orillia. They will have to take the baby

now if the dr. doesn't like the Catscan. She is due

the end of June. I just wish we weren't so far away.

 

I have to stop after work today and get a

present for my niece's

b'day party tomorrow  so probably

won't be back till much later.

 

Have a great day everyone!!
