Gunnar and the Austinaire show

Gunnar singing senior solo

The Austinaire Show

Gunnar and the rest of the kids did a great show and it was fun to see two nights in a row.  Qatar helped move things around on stage.  Gunnar sung "I Just Haven't Met You Yet"  Lots of fun and he did a wonderful job.  I will post a video of part of it tomorrow.

Great deal at Groupons check it out

More free books now and I'm worried I've created a monster, I received four books in the mail a week ago and I know at least 8 more are coming.  I was asked by four more authors to read their book, I have five I need to read just on the Kindle now.  Fun, but oh well I really can't complain.

JFK Library tour and singing

The JFK Library was our first trip in the morning on Saturday.  The library was fascinating and I learned more about JFK then I ever did.  I enjoyed the tour and then the kids sung in the atrium.   The window bars were tempting to climb and the kids were told not to and thank heaven no one did.  It was a great place to visit.  Parkour!!!!!!  it was yelled a few dozen times during the trip.

Boston and the Blue Man Group

This was our last stop and it was different.  The tickets were handed out and we waited for the kids to get theirs and then we got ours.  We were escorted to our seats and they all had ponchos on them, so we turned and traded with the kids who had seats outside the target zone.  The show was funny I had tears from laughing so hard.  Toilet paper rained down on us and then huge balls, twinkie gunk and lots of jello.

Before this and China Town we all went to a Lutheran Church for services.  The kids sung at both, but we only attended the first fully.  It is a lot like a Catholic service.  The kids were respectful and it helped that most of them were Lutheran.  The church had goodies for us afterwards and it was more then anyone could eat so they packed it for us to take home.

The trip was amazing and the behavior of all the students was commendable.  10th grade to seniors and over 120 of them.  Three bus fulls and nine chaperons.  I would go again in a heartbeat.  I'm thankful for the time I got to spend with Gunnar.  He was busy with his friends, but I had the credit card so I got him for a few meals,  We had lobster and clams at one restaurant.  What a great memory and experience.  Let your kids go they will remember it forever.
