Going Through Life One Post at a Time
And, so it begins with a last. It is John’s Senior season with the Hickman High School Marching Band.
They presented the first movement of this year’s show, “Broken Hearts”, for family and friends at John’s last Parent Preview Night. While I cannot wait to see the rest of the show, I know that our time following our kids in their Kewpie Marching Band adventures is nearly over. How lucky the kids are to have been a part of this fantastic program.
Bring on Senior Year!
Andy managed to fit all of Laura’s things into the car. Year Two at Southeast Missouri State University begins tomorrow with Marching Band camp!
Laura is packed and ready to leave tomorrow. She just has a few things left, but that is all things that need to be packed after she gets ready in the morning.
As part of her last day here, Laura and I joined Andy at Shakespeare’s after the Green and Black ride.
It is hard to believe that Laura leaves tomorrow. It does not seem possible.
Laura and I have begun packing for her second year at Southeast Missouri State University. She leaves on Thursday. Summer went too fast.
We spent the last day in Colorado taking Brian around to the different sites. Of course, we had to visit the Breckenridge Troll because it was important that Brian see it.
Then, we headed into Frisco for some wandering, drinks, and dinner.
It was a great end to vacation. We all head home tomorrow.
The Colorado weather was the winner of today. It was not supposed to rain until the afternoon, but it was cold and just starting to rain at the start line.
By the time Andy reached the top of Fremont Pass, he was wet and cold. One of the SAG drivers told him that several people were being picked up along the route because of it. He made the decision to turn around and come back to Copper Mountain. As I told him, he has ridden this ride many times and has nothing left to prove. While he was disappointed that he did not finish, he made the right decision. Brian and Jeff did finish, but they are both faster than Andy and, admittedly, a bit crazy!
We spent the rest of the day hanging out around Copper Mountain and enjoying the traditional team Spaghetti Dinner.
It was still a great day despite the Colorado weather.
