Monday: we packed up and hit the road to Philadelphia
Tuesday: led 2 music workshops for 2 schools, walked around downtown Philly
Wednesday: 2 more workshops, drove to Bensalem, PA and had a concert at the amphitheater.
Thursday: drove to Tennessee, JJ beat me in Risk :)
Friday: performed a show in Nashville
Saturday: drove to Maryland, saw a Zelos concert, RV broke down!!!
Sunday: went to Covenant Life Church, drove back to Pennsylvania (can't believe we made it!)
Today: got the poor RV fixed, played for 6,000 kids!!!!!!!! (YES 6,000!!), and right now we're driving up to New York:)
I loved having the opportunity to work with these kids! It was so neat to watch their faces when they learned a drum beat, danced a jig, or sang a new song. Fam, awesome job teaching, reaching out, making them laugh, being their friends and glorifying God with your servant's hearts!
This group of kids was so sweet and made us thank you cards!! :) Thanks guys!!

Don't get nervous guys!!! :)
Back stage studs:)
We had an awesome time playing for this crazy crowd!
I asked the kids to say hey to all our friends and family in Va...just in case you can't make out what they're saying, they shout out "YO VIRGINIA!!!!" :)
So, there's a basic recap of our week...minus random laughing, spilled milk...(ok, funny story... so Jon opens the fridge to get an afternoon snack [while we're on the highway], and the milk carton unexpectedly falls out, hits the floor and half a gallon of milk pours everywhere...so...Dad hits the breaks which makes Jes fall in it, us kids start dying laughing as we jump for our lives onto the couches to avoid the milky pool that was coming for us...haha if only we had it on video!!:) we were laughing so hard that it took us forever to clean up the mess! haha)...anyways:), going to a dump laundry mat:), playing a hilarious game of pictionary, meeting Josh Harris, running out of cash, seeing Drew from Switchfoot at church!!, and everything in between!
Well, we thank the Lord... The RV is up and running and we are heading to the big apple for another week of shows and workshops. Hope everyone is doing well and we miss you all!

Everything sounds/looks wicked awesome, Hunts.
Our family's been praying for you guys, and the Lord's been blessing y'all for sure. I don't go with them to SGC every week, but I try to look for your family every time I am there.
By the way, Philadelphia is one of my all-time favorite cities - spent three summers there, actually.
Hope to see y'all sometime soon.

Although the playlist is only 4 songs, each one is completely amazing.
