We brought Nicholas to Boy Scout Camp this past week, and we camped at a campground ten minutes away. Tony was the chaperone for the day because our Scoutmaster couldn't take the whole week off. We got permission for Nicholas to perform at dinner for all of the Scouts, and he and Tony brought down the house. Everyone loved the Millionaire's Hoedown!
Michael loved digging in the sand at the playground...
and made new friends at the campground - Danny and Brian. Their mom is a music teacher, too!
We are home for a few days now, but we are leaving again to go to Albany. The New York State School Music Association(NYSSMA) is hosting a summer conference. Tony is in charge of the orchestra sessions, and he has invited Mark O'Connor to present some of the sessions. For those of you who don't know who Mark O'Connor is, he is one of the top fiddlers in the world. Tony had the guts to call him up to ask him to come to New York to present at the conference. (The worst he could say was no, right?) So Mark said, of course, he'd love to come! I am sooo looking forward to meeting him!

We missed the hoedown?! I bet they were the hit of the night! Brennan surprises people every once in a while with his violin.
Sounds like your summer is fun.
We miss you. I heard Emily talking to someone last night about your incredible yard. We had our ward campout last night.
Can I have the music for the Millionaire's Hoedown? I know I've probably heard it before but can't remember how it goes.
How cool is that!
