Great End to the Week

Friday was a very LOOOONNNNGGGG day.  Hubby and I woke up at 3:15 and woke MAC up at 3:45.  The bus left the school at 5:00am and returned around 10:50pm.  The all Bates band, the all Bates Chorus, the PVA  band and the PVA chorus all went.  They took 4 tour buses to Six Flags New Jersey.

It sounded as if they had a wonderful day.  Hubby said he even had a good time.

MAC had a very good day and the chorus came home with a superior score.  They were apparently the only group to get that score.  After performing, the groups were let loose on the Six Flags park.  Hubby said that MAC didn't even ask for a souvenir.  They had dinner at Johnny Rockets and didn't really even sleep on the bus on the way back because they were talking with friends.

I was able to spend some time with a friend while they were away.  She and I haven't spent a lot of time together but it is aways nice.  She has three children all of whom have difficulties.  She always apologizes for "behavior" and I always say "I've been there".

Today was Girl Scout Camping.  Just me.  MAC stayed home and slept in.  I went for just the day and another mother came and spent the night with her daughter.  It was a beautiful day and we had fun walking around.  I used a band saw for the first time today.  I don't think I have ever collected or cut so much wood in my life!  I was so excited to be able to start a all wood fire on the first try, twice, today. 

All in all it was a great end to the week.  She had a good time, got a superior score, and could even get a medal if she wished.  She got to ride lots of roller coasters, eat a yummy burger (her way), and got to sleep for a little over 13 hours today.
