Music Tour - It will wear you out!



So....CAA music tour went to Seattle this past Thur-Sunday
We did many things, drove many miles, experienced gridlock, sleep deprivation  zero privacy, laughter, good food, exhaustion, all things that translate into BONDING



Each and every night was spent on a gym floor shared by all...
If you haven't experienced sleeping in a gym wit 67 male/female students (of course they are separated/by a line on the floor!) you just haven't lived...

This not being my first time - I was prepared...thanks mom for the awesome air mattress  Night one I went for a little extra padding :)




All this effort so these kids can perform...See the one on the end playing the bass guitar...
He forgot it...
Emergency 2 hour run to get it...
Who's kid is that?!!!

 




Sightseeing is included...
.

Trip to the top of the Space Needle...





Experience Music Project...




Chris Tomlin Concert..

Trying to get out of Seattle...
It literally took us 1.5 hours to go 6 blocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Pacific Science Center...
Aquarium...
Pikes Market..




It was exhausting...
Through miss communication or lack of communication from the schools were were staying at our sleep schedule was greatly shortened...Add to that ridiculous gridlock traffic trying to get out of Seattle Sat night and the fact that we were sleeping in a gym all together...there was a significant LACK of sleeping going on...
So kids caught some zzzzs when ever they could....




Considering the fact that teenagers top priorities besides socializing are eating and sleeping we made sure to at least feed them well and often...
It was the least we could do to ensure our survival... :)





When a strange man entered the gym Sunday morning at 5:45am (when 98% of us were still dead asleep) and announced to us that we had to be out of the gym by 6:15 (we had been told 7am) the poor sleeping beauties did what they were told...
They really all a great bunch of kiddos...
Its just that teachers and students weren't meant to live together...Its better for the relationship :)



  
This is what happens when a teenager offers to hold your camera while you use the bathroom...
I'm only sharing two of the twenty pics that were taken in the 30 seconds I allowed my camera out of my sight :)
