Yesterday I chaperoned my third annual trip to the Great East Music Festival and Six Flags with Johns school. The band and chorus performances went amazingly well - Johns band earned a gold, but were only 3-4 points away from a platinum! It was the highest score the band had ever received. The chorus also recieved a gold, but did not score as high in the points area to break the new band record. John and Amanda were both very happy with the results of their groups performances.
Then it was on to Six Flags! With temperatures topping 90 degrees, it made for a great day at the park - especially the water rides! I couldn't go on any rides except the carousel, but I even finally opted out of that one. I did go swimming in the wading pool and the wave pool though, so that was good. I was glad I thought to wear my swim suit under my clothes, because other wise, I never would have been able to go in. Some of the kids started off a little rough in the park - there are several diabetic children in the band/chorus groups, so some of them were having some issues, two people just got plain sick, and one developed a migrane. Fortunately for us, we had the school nurse on the trip with us, so she was able to take care of all of these kids.
It made for kind of a long day with a group of kids wanting to tag along with John and I all day. Luckily he was able to go on a lot of the rides, and it would have been boring for him to hang out with me all day while I wasn't able to go on anything. However, to make up for the whole experience, I bought a Wonder Woman cape and a huge ice cream. Both were well worth it.
Not much other news today. I'm so sleepy from yesterday, and plus my parents came over today to help with some work in the basement and yard. My dad and John knocked out all the crappy sheetrock from the basement wall, and now it's ready to have the new stuff installed into it. It's amazing how much less like water and gross stuff it smells now! Makes a huge difference. I can't wait until we can get that sheet rock in and the floor tiled now! It will be so awesome to have that room back. It'll be nice on nights like tonight to be able to watch TV and such down there. We also got quite a bit of gardening done with my parents help today, which was good. One garden is done, and the others are on their way!
Okay, I'm leaving for real now. I'm super tired and my feet and ankles super hurt!
