The kids are on an all day band trip today. They came to school as normal, but then won't be back until about 8:00 this evening. Andrew and I are hoping to take the evening and get some shopping out, then grab dinner. Our Friday evening routine since home football games ended (and Andrew had to be there) has been to have dinner together. Working makes it possible.
Anyway, the kids have been excited about this trip for weeks. Honestly, for the adults, it is kind of a pain. It is a huge amount of work, and we are "competing" against bands that have far larger budgets, and much bigger expectations. The directors don't particularly want to go, but a prominent community member basically insisted it needed to happen, and even raised the money to make it financially possible. I was kind of rolling my eyes about the whole thing, but I am glad that my kids are happy about it, and I'm grateful that they will have the opportunity to perform again. We watched them at the community performance last night, and I was pretty impressed with them overall!
